Allowing commands via Windows terminal

[User_101]

Hi,

After installing Malwarebytes I am having a problem with running a command via a script.

In MS Excel, I have a line of code that runs an executable .jar file.

objShell.Run(path/to/jar)

 

I understand the need to block these particular requests, but is there any way of allowing this?

Not across the board but via an exception, e.g. if the file is in a protected location.

 

Thanks

What version did you install?

I am not quite sure.

Our Malwarebytes in managed by 3rd party and I don't have access to any control panel, only to start and stop a scan.

I know I should go straight to them, but I will be met with the advice to not change anything.

 

This is why I posted here, to see what the community thinks. Surely there must be a way to allow an exception somewhere, somehow

If you have no access to the software then there would be no way to add an exclusion or any other workaround.

You need to talk to the one who manages the software.

I understand I can't make the change.

Apologies, this is not what I am asking.

The required change will be made by the 3rd party. I am trying to gain an understanding (i.e. to see if this is possible) before proceeding to them.

 

Otherwise, I know I will just be advised to not change anything.

They would have to disable part of the exploit protection for you. They might not know how to do it or might not want to be bothered with it.

Thanks Porthos for trying to help me, I do appreciate it.

I know it's the 3rd party that manages our security policy, not me.

I also know they may not know how to do it, hence my post.

 

I am trying to understand how one would go about allowing an exception for my specific request. Perhaps it's not even possible.

If someone from this community can point me to the relevant source then I would be in a better position when I do approach our 3rd party.

They are welcome to contact business support for instructions if needed. There is no single fix or exclusion that fits all.
