Your options
If you've received an alert, then you have 2 options:
- authorize the file
- send the file to the lab for analysis
Authorize the file if it's from a trusted source.
Send it to the lab for analysis if:
- you trust the file, but it generates alerts.
- you don't trust the file
To reduce the chance of unwanted detections, Sophos HIPS should be set to 'Alert only' mode for the duration of any software installations.
Sending a file to the lab?
When you complete the sample submission form, please give a reason for your submission and mention this "HIPS/" detection.
More Information
Runtime behavior alerts of this type inform the user that a file has attempted to perform a suspicious move or copy on the computers file system. Any attempt at this behavior by an unauthorized program could indicate a malware infection.
Please note that the behavior of some legitimate product installers can sometimes resemble that of malware. For this reason, installing or updating software carries an increased likelihood of unwanted detections for HIPS/FileMod-001.
