Spyware/Grayware Approved List
OfficeScan provides a list of "approved" spyware/grayware, which contains files or 
applications that you do not want treated as spyware or grayware. When a particular 
spyware/grayware is detected during scanning, OfficeScan checks the approved list and 
performs no action if it finds a match in the approved list.
Apply the approved list to one or several clients and domains, or to all clients that the 
server manages. The approved list applies to all scan types, which means that the same 
approved list will be used during Manual Scan, Real-time Scan, Scheduled Scan, and 
Scan Now.
To add already detected spyware/grayware to the approved list:
