How to Whitelist Salad in PCMatic

1. Open PCMatic

As the PCMatic AV doesn’t really have an app interface, you will need to access it from their website. Go to their website https://www.pcmatic.com/pro/default.asp, login to your account and this is what you will see.

2. Find the Exclusion Setting

After you have made it to your AV’s dashboard, click on ‘Options’ situated on the left from the middle and a drop-down list will appear. From that list, click on ‘Manage Whitelists’.

3. Adding an Exclusion

After you have clicked on ‘Manage Whitelists’ your exclusion settings will appear alongside different tabs. From those tabs, click on ‘Supershield Allow’.

4. Adding Salad as an Exception

Once you have navigated to ‘Supershield Allow’, it is time to add Salad as a whitelist. Make sure you have set ‘Type’ as ‘File Path’. And on the dialogue box under ‘File Path’, you’ll want to navigate the Salad miner folder in it, the path for this is “C:\ProgramData\Salad\workloads” and click ‘Add’.

5. Run Salad

Open your Salad widget and click the play button. Contact support here if this issue persists.
