File Exceptions

Set files and directories to be excepted from scanning OnDemand and OnAccess.
If set to empty string, then no objects will be excluded from scanning.

The list entries must be separated using a semicolon (;).

The maximum length of the string is 10.000 characters. It is recommended to keep this list short as it will be checked during each scan.

Note

Always use fully qualified file and directory names like in these examples:
c:\samples;c:\mydatabases\database.db;%USERPROFILE%\excludedfolder

Important

  • wildcards like file*.db are not accepted, due to the high risk of misconfiguration and of high latency.
  • single files like malware.exe will be ignored.
  • it is acceptable to enter environment variables like %USERPROFILE%. The variables are expanded at startup.
  • it is acceptable to enter shared folders \server\share
