Run EAM with anti-spy software

Some anti-virus and anti-spyware programs can detect IMonitor programs as Spyware.AllMonitor. To install IMonitor software you must be the owner of the computer or authorized by the owner. In this case you may easily add IMonitor programs to Exclude/Ignore/Exceptions list of your anti-spyware.

Here are some articles from Symantec’s Support Knowledge Base about setting up exclusions in their security software:

Symantec: Configuring global security risk exclusions in Symantec AntiVirus 10.1 and Symantec Client Security 3.1

Symantec: Creating exceptions to security risk scanning in Symantec AntiVirus 10.1 and Symantec Client Security 3.1
