My Windows 7 laptop runs Symantec Endpoint Protection, version 12.1.671.4971. I have recently installed XAMPP for Windows, version 1.8.1, so that I can run mirror installation of my WordPress site on my own computer. I get warnings from Symantec that look like this:
SYMANTEC TAMPER PROTECTION ALERT
Target: C:\Program files (x86)\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\12.1.671.4971
Event Info: Create Process
Action Taken: Logged
Actor Process: C:\XAMPP\XAMPP-CONTROL.EXE (PID 3464)
Time: etc.
I went into Change Settings -> Exceptions -> Configure Settings, and put the following into the list of User-defined Exceptions:
C:\xampp\xampp-control.exe All Scans Ignore
C:\xampp\xampp-start.exe All Scans Ignore
to no avail.
Any suggestions?
