From McAfee VirusScan 8.8 Managed Client STIG
Part of DTAM160-McAfee VirusScan on-access URL exclusions
Associated with: CCI-001242
Many attackers use toolkits containing several different types of utilities and scripts that can be used to probe and attack hosts. Scripts are a common carrier of malware and none should be excluded from scanning. In the unlikely event that excluding scanning a script impacts the operational function and/or availability of a system, and reasonable mitigation efforts have been put into place, the exclusion may be put into place but must be documented with, and approved by, the ISSO/ISSM/DAA.
From the ePO server console System Tree, select the Systems tab, select the asset to be checked, select Actions, select Agent, and select Modify Policies on a Single System. From the product pull down list, select VirusScan Enterprise 8.8.0. Select from the Policy column the policy associated with the On-Access General Policies. Under the ScriptScan tab, locate the "ScriptScan exclusions:" label. Ensure there are no exclusions listed in the URL field. Criteria: If there are no exclusions listed in the URL field, this is a not finding. If there are exclusions listed in the URL field, and the exclusions have been documented with, and approved by, the ISSO/ISSM/DAA, this is not a finding.
