This guide is intended for users with local admin access and will guide you through the process of allowing a Panda blocked process to run.
- If an application, program or process has not been seen before on the network, it is likely that Panda will prevent it from executing.
- If this occurs AND you have elevated local admin user access, you will be able to bypass the Panda restriction and allow the process to run.
Panda initially blocks the process from running
Panda Adaptive Defense 360 shows a pop-up headed 1 program blocked: The following untrusted program has been automatically blocked, listing the Program name, Program path, Publisher (None for an unsigned program), Run by (for example C:\Windows\Explorer.EXE), and Date. It explains that, as a preventive measure, the program will be prevented from running until Panda checks that it is a 100% trusted program — However, if you want to allow its execution, run it again and select the "Allow" option.
Run the process a 2nd time and "allow" it
On the second launch Panda shows an Untrusted program prompt: A program is attempting to run that may be a security risk for your company. As a preventive measure, it will be prevented from running until we check that it is a 100% trusted program. It repeats the Program name, Program path, Publisher, and Run by details and asks Do you want to allow it to run? with Allow and Deny buttons. Click Allow.
