I am growing tired of constantly responding to alerts from SEP whenever a program I have tries to connect to the internet. MS Office Click-to-Run is the biggest offender (but not the only one.) Every time I fire up my pc I get an alert that this program has changed since the last time I used it, and should I allow it to connect? There are other programs too that do this regularly - MS Office Telemetry Agent, my automatic back up program, and a couple of others. How can I stop this annoyance?
I looked at how to add exceptions to SEP but for some reason I am having trouble accessing the program to add it to the list. When I go to Change Settings - Exceptions - Add - Application Exception, it takes me to a list of what is on my desktop, and I'm not sure how to add a program from there. I found my way to the C drive, and was able to try to add the MS Office folder, but got a message saying "Only files can be selected using this option."
Maybe I'm doing something wrong here? Does anybody have a suggestion?
Another option would be to delete MS Office Click-to-Run, which is a program that keeps MS Office up to date, but I don't think I should have to do that. SEP should provide us with the ability to pretty easily add exceptions. Thanks!
