False Detection of Exploit

[Hilltops]

I'm using MB premium 4.5.20.230 and received an exploit warning blocking the Dell Display Manager (DDM) app from trying to change the screensaver settings. There is no mention in the log file of the app but I know it was DDM because I was using it trying to configure the screensaver when MB blocked access and gave off the warning. I went into the MB settings to add DDM to the Allow List but couldn't find the right category under "Add an item to your Allow List."Logfile.txt

Do you have this enabled? If so turn it off and leave it off.

Thanks for getting back to me! No, that setting is set to off.

Then you will have to disable the following to allow it to work from now on.

That did it, Porthos! What's the downside of disabling this setting?

[Porthos]

Some Office exploit might run but this or turning off exploit protection completely before using Dell Display Manager is your only choice.

Yes, of course, I turn if off when I need to make changes with the Dell app and then turn it on again. Duh! 

Thanks for the quick and knowledgeable support, Porthos. Much appreciated!
