Thermo Fisher Scientific Vibrational Products Antivirus Whitelist
July 29, 2025
Introduction
To ensure Thermo Scientific's vibrational spectroscopy software operates smoothly, you need to whitelist specific executables and folders in your security software. This prevents the security software from mistakenly identifying Thermo Scientific's software as a threat and disrupting its functionality. For example, a customer using CrowdStrike antivirus software had to whitelist executables and folders to make OMNIC Paradigm work properly.
Below is a guide to finding the files and folders that should be whitelisted. Note that software versions may change over time, so these instructions do not generally specify a version. Depending on the software configuration you have installed, some of these executables or folders may not be present.
