I have the mks toolkit installed — and cybercapture is scanning every exe, ie ls, cat, grep, vi — how do I stop this?

…if you disagree with Norton

have you added Antivirus & Scans exclusions?
have you added App permissions?

AI Overview
“CyberCapture” is a feature in Norton, and other antivirus software like Avast, that detects and analyzes rare, suspicious files, which is enabled by default to block unrecognized files.

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

  • What is CyberCapture?

    • CyberCapture is a feature designed to identify and analyze potentially malicious files that are not yet recognized by standard antivirus signatures.
    • It’s enabled by default in many antivirus programs, including Avast and Norton, to block unrecognized files.

  • How does it work?

    • When CyberCapture detects a suspicious file, it’s automatically sent to the antivirus company’s threat labs for analysis.
    • This allows the company to learn about new threats and update their detection capabilities.

  • Norton and Cybercapture

    • Norton uses a similar feature to Cybercapture to detect and analyze suspicious files.
    • Norton’s feature is called “Cybercapture”.

  • How to manage Cybercapture

    • You can exclude certain files temporarily from all scans, shields, and CyberCapture at once.
    • You can also configure your Norton product to exclude certain programs from the Auto-Protect and Behavioral Protection scans.

  • Cybercapture and Norton Community

    • There are discussions in the Norton Community about Cybercapture, including instances where it flags installers and .exe files.

the mks toolkit is unix command for windows — ls, rm, cat, tar ----

cybercapture is process every command that I issue ---- yes I did add to the av/exclide list the install directory

"C:\Program Files (x86)\MKS Toolkit"

will cybercaptery find the directory is it is access by it “short name?”

C:\PROGRA~2\MKSTOO~1

not sure what App permissions are — do you mean CACLS?

Norton Community is primarily user-to-user “working” product help.
Norton Community does not have access to your Norton account, subscription nor payment profile.

CACLS is a depreciated command, please try adding exclusions using icalcs instead.
