Reporting & Machine Learning Protection

Advanced Machine learning is now a part of the detection engine as an advanced layer of protection, which improves detection. Read the following before modifying a threshold (or level) for category Reporting.

When items are reported

•No action—No action is performed, and the file stays in OneDrive.

•Move to Trash—The file is moved to the Recycle Bin.

•Replace—The original file's content is replaced by text defined below in the File replace text window.

•Quarantine—The original file is moved to Recycle Bin and copied to quarantine. When the file is released, the previously deleted file stays in the trash, and a new copy is uploaded to the original OneDrive folder.

File replace text

Replaces the attachment with a text file that contains detailed information about an action taken.

Notify owner

When enabled, the user will receive a notification email when detection is found.

Notify administrator

Specify an email address (press Enter to add multiple addresses) to receive notification emails whenever a detection is found.

Detection exclusions

Insert the Detection name or File hash of the malware you want to exclude from processing. This feature is intended to exclude harmless samples used in cybersecurity training exercises. All exclusions will appear clean and cannot be distinguished from other clean results. To see the excluded detections in the Scan logs, ensure the Log all objects setting is enabled.
