Panel and Anti-Virus & Anti-Malware

Panel and Anti-Virus / Anti-Malware

Panel runs blueprints as an evocation of powershell.exe with encoded commands. Many popular AV/Malware will flag this rightly so as they see remote code being run and that is an activity you would like to monitor if you were not using Panel. However, that's why Panel is awesome because you can manage things remotely! Here's how to manage each AV/AM product to work with Panel.

BitDefender

3. Select the policy you have that you need to assign to Panel machines. (Exempt Panel is an example policy shown here.)

Note: The client computers will continue to flag and report issues on each machine. The Bitdefender software may slow down Panel polling by causing some blueprint polling reports to be delayed and rerun multiple times.
