Has anyone installed 14.3 ru2 and noticed their Google Chrome is suddenly managed by an organization whereas prior to the update, it hasn't? Did the new client introduce a new policy being pushed in?
If you scroll back a few pages in this thread there's a method for disabling that extension if it bothers you. /x13
Yup, I tried. It keeps reappearing and then I tried modifying the key and then it still says managed by organization. Hmm guess there has to be an update or another way.
Hello, I have a weird problem with SEP, whenever I connect to VPN, the SEP disregards all my Application Settings and Firewall rules and just allows all applications to connect to the net. I have a bunch of applications which I don't want to have network access and as such have blocked them. Also created a firewall rule to block those particular apps on all network adapters. These rules are followed by SEP whenever I am not using VPN, but as soon as I connect to VPN, these rules are out the window. Did a lot of searching on net, but couldn't find anything. Does anyone have any clue why SEP by default allows all traffic on VPN. Btw, I use Surfshark, but it doesn't seem to be an issue of that, my friend has NordVPN and he too has similar issue. So it is definitely a SEP issue. If anyone has a similar issue or knows how to resolve it, I would be very thankful. I want SEP to follow the firewall and application settings rules. I have the latest SEP 14.3 RU2. Thank you.
Well folks, it seems like 14.3.3580.1100 RU1 MP1 isn't so stable after all. By pure coincidence I went in SEP's settings and saw that all my exceptions were deleted AGAIN. Not only that, some other settings (like proxy, submitting suspicious files) were also reset to their defaults. So it's not just the exceptions that are affected, it seems that this bug (could be more that one of course) resets some settings which also clears the exceptions. So I'll have to downgrade again... to 14.2.5569.2100 RU2 MP1, which is Symantec's last release before the Broadcom's code butchers took over. Such a shame to see this brilliant software go to hell like this. BEWARE if you use any other Symantec products (since the take-over), they may also suffer the same fate! /x13
I had the same issue with this version of SEP but it did work just fine when 1-uninstall. 2-removal of any SEP trace in windows registries. 3-install and update. 4-reboot PC (important step) 5-configure SEP (exceptions,etc...) 6-run update again 7-reboot PC and verify setting again if it get reset then reconfigure again and it should stay. could not update SEP to the new version because of the new chrome extension (it blocks many sites and it can not be disable or configure)
Seems waaaay too complicated. Software should adapt to us and not the other way around. Of course the extension can be blocked! Scroll back in this thread. There are several ways to do this. PS: This extension only gets installed on Chrome. Other Chrome-type browsers (Dragon, Brave) don't have this problem. /x13
Would anyone be able to mirror the 14.3 RU2 for macOS? It released after the windows version, so RU1 is included in the all clients package. @LostED
I have below questions. I appreciate if someone can answer these. 1) I used Symantec_Endpoint_Protection_14.3.0_RU2_All_Clients_EN.zip having SHA256 17BB269515A6C5ABA97FE8430F0C483F6E587FA127FC45C7ADFED7DC9F43D251, I think it installed unmanaged Symantec endpoint on latest windows 10, it also does update live updates. I am aware that I can't do any version update directly since I dont have any license for this. What are other downsides of continue using non-license/unmanaged Symantec client from security point of view? Using unmanaged or not-licensed, is my windows 10 safe? (of course to some extend!) 2) Right SHA256 is correct way of validating authenticity of file, but if a file is signed (ex: Symantec_Endpoint_Protection_14.3.0_RU2_Win64-bit_Client_EN.exe) using proper Symantec certificate, does that mean that file is genuine? Can I trust that exe without worrying about SHA256? 3) My company has Symantec and I am slightly inclined towards that regardless its memory/CPU usage. But how is this compared to other free personal use anti viruses (ex: McAfee, Kaspersky etc.). Can you give few important differences why I shouldn't use Symantec unmanaged? 4) For home free usage, please give your personal preference of anti virus software's.
Is there a way to save your existing User-defined Exceptions in case you need to re-install Endpoint Protection by chance?
