Incorrect Detection or Block of Malware

Applies To: WatchGuard Advanced EPDR, WatchGuard EPDR, WatchGuard EDR, WatchGuard EPP, WatchGuard EDR Core

If your WatchGuard Endpoint Security product incorrectly detects a file as malware, or incorrectly blocks a file, contact Support and provide this information:

  • From the endpoint agent, select Antivirus and Advanced Protection > Event Report to export a report. Give the report to Support as part of your case.

Because Adaptive Defense products do not have a graphical user interface, there is no report to export. In this case, inform Support of the approximate date and time of the incorrect detection.

  • Make a copy of the incorrectly detected file. Compress and password-protect the file, and use panda as the password. Give the file to Support as part of your case.
  • Select Event Report > Status. If the file status is Quarantine, and you cannot obtain the file any other way, save a copy of this folder:
    C:\ProgramData\Panda Security\Security Protection\Quarantine
    Give the compressed folder to Support as part of your case. Support might be able to retrieve the quarantined file from the folder.
  • You can use the PSInfo tool to provide more diagnostic logs to help Support troubleshoot your issue. For more information, go to Get Started with PSInfo.
