*.reg &nbsp;does not work? &nbsp;Just curious myself, or possibly filter by REG_SZ or REG_DWORD to exclude those?<br />

Just throwing suggestions.

This is the solution I implemented, though I found that there's a check box in the policy for this as well. &nbsp;Thanks! &nbsp;It works.

I use Group Policy Preferences extensively in my environment and Forefront Client Security is noticing when I write values to the &quot;Run&quot; keys in the registry and logging entries for these changes in the System Event Log. &nbsp;This is flooding the logs given that Group Policy is updating every 60 minutes in my environment.<br />
<br />
Is anyone aware of a way to authorize certain registry values to be written and ignored? &nbsp;I can't find any way to do this in policy. &nbsp;I can exclude files and folders but not registry keys.<br />
<br />
Ideas?

I use Group Policy Preferences extensively in my environment and Forefront Client Security is noticing when I write values to the "Run" keys in the registry and logging entries for these changes in the System Event Log.  This is flooding the logs given that Group Policy is updating every 60 minutes in my environment.

Can registry exceptions be made within Forefront Client Security?

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
