File Groups

 
  • Click 'Settings' > 'File Rating' > 'File Groups'.

  • As the name suggests, a file group is a collection of one or more file types. For example, the 'Executables' group is a list of file types that can run code on your computer.
  • Once created, file groups can be named as the target of a rule in other areas of CCS. This makes it easy to add an entire class of files to exclusions, HIPS rules, firewall rules, containment rules and more.
  • CCS ships with a set of predefined file groups. You can also create your own file groups and edit existing groups as required.

Open the 'File Groups' interface

  • Click 'Settings' on the CCS home screen
  • Click 'File Rating' > 'File Groups'


Search Option:

  • Click the search icon at upper-right and enter the name of a file group in full or part.

Controls:


The buttons at the top provide the following options:

  • Add - Create a new file group. Add files, folders or running processes to an existing group.
  • Edit - Rename a group. Change the file path of items in a file group.
  • Remove - Delete a file group, or specific items in a group.
  • Purge - Runs a check to verify that all files in a group are actually installed at the path specified. If not, the file or file group is removed from the list.
