How to add wildcard *\ or \*.* in URL path in Allow list?


Recommended Posts

I need to install FlexiSPY on an autistic child's computer, in order to monitor, what triggers his behavior at certain moments. This is very important for this family, but Malwarebytes blocks for this program to run (which I totally understand). FlexiSPY has listed the following instructions to add exemptions to the allow list in Malwarebytes, but I am not able to enter the path as suggested by FlexiSpy

 

Here are the items, which needs to be entered in the allow list in Malwarebytes. 

HOW CAN I ENTER WILDCARD LIKE *\ OR \*.* IN THE URL PATH IN THE ALLOW LIST.

 

Instructions for those with  64-bit  computers
  1. Exclude the following  Folders
    1. C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Provisioning\*.*
    2. *\AppData\Roaming\Windows Provisioning\*
  2. Exclude the following  Process
    1. *\svcAppLookup.exe
  3. Whitelist the following  URL (if option is available)

Hi,

Thanks for posting in the Malwarebytes for Windows Help forum.

If you are having technical issues with our Windows product, please do the following:

Malwarebytes Support Tool - Advanced Options

This feature is designed for the following reasons:

  • For use when you are on the forums and need to provide logs for assistance
  • For use when you don't need or want to create a ticket with Malwarebytes
  • For use when you want to perform local troubleshooting on your own

How to use the Advanced Options:

Spoiler
  1. Download Malwarebytes Support Tool
  2. Double-click mb-support-X.X.X.XXXX.exe to run the program
    • You may be prompted by User Account Control (UAC) to allow changes to be made to your computer. Click Yes to consent.
  3. Place a checkmark next to Accept License Agreement and click Next
  4. Navigate to the Advanced tab
  5. The Advanced menu page contains four categories:
    • Gather Logs: Collects troubleshooting information from the computer. As part of this process, Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) is run to perform a complete diagnosis. The information is saved to a file on the Desktop named mbst-grab-results.zip and can be added as an email attachment or uploaded to a forum post to assist with troubleshooting the issue at hand.
    • Clean: Performs an automated uninstallation of all Malwarebytes products installed to the computer and prompts to install the latest version of Malwarebytes for Windows afterwards. The Premium license key is backed up and reinstated. All user configurations and other data are removed. This process requires a reboot.
    •  Repair System: Includes various system-related repairs in case a Windows service is not functioning correctly that Malwarebytes for Windows is dependent on. It is not recommended to use any Repair System options unless instructed by a Malwarebytes Support agent.
    • Anonymously help the community by providing usage and threat statistics: Unchecking this option will prevent Malwarebytes Support Tool from sending anonymous telemetry data on usage of the program.
  6. To provide logs for review click the Gather Logs button
  7. Upon completion, click OK
  8. A file named mbst-grab-results.zip will be saved to your Desktop
  9. Please attach the file in your next reply.
  10. To uninstall all Malwarebytes Products, click the Clean button.
  11. Click the Yes button to proceed. 
  12. Save all your work and click OK when you are ready to reboot.
  13. After the reboot, you will have the option to re-install the latest version of Malwarebytes for Windows.
  14. Select Yes to install Malwarebytes.
  15. Malwarebytes for Windows will open once the installation completes successfully.

Hello and Welcome to Malarebytes...

Sorry your having issues with our software.... If I am not mistaken you can not use wildcards to exclude items and or folders, staff can correct me if I am wrong.

Open Malwarebytes and go to Settings -> Allow List
Click on Add
Click on Allow a file or folder

     Exclude the following Folder (Whole folder) (noticed I removed the *.*)
        C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Provisioning\

    For this one the * in the front just means to go to the path where you profile is listed for example < C:\Users\Maria\AppData\Roaming\Windows Provisioning\ >
        *\AppData\Roaming\Windows Provisioning\

    Exclude the following  Process (same thing here, find where this file was installed on your computer
        *\svcAppLookup.exe

On this one you need to Add it as

    Whitelist the following  URL (if option is available) (notice I removed the * at the end)
        https://d3vet6saktm3ad.cloudfront.net/
