When entering the process, Unicode symbols are accepted. You can therefore enter
process or directory names containing special symbols.
Drive information must be entered as follows: [Drive letter]:\
The colon symbol (:) is only used to specify drives.
When specifying the process, you can use the wildcards * (any number of characters)
and ? (a single character).
C:\Program Files\Application\application.exe
C:\Program Files\Application\applicatio?.exe
C:\Program Files\Application\applic*.exe
C:\Program Files\Application\*.exe
To avoid the process being excluded globally from monitoring by Realtime Protection,
specifications exclusively comprising the following characters are invalid: * (asterisk), ?
(question mark), / (forward slash), \ (backslash), . (dot), : (colon).
You have the option of excluding processes from monitoring by the Realtime
Protection without full path details. For example: application.exe
This however only applies to processes where the executable files are located on hard
disk drives.
Full path details are required for processes where the executable files are located on
connected drives, e.g. network drives. Please note the general information on the
notation of Exceptions on connected network drives.
Do not specify any exceptions for processes where the executable files are located on
dynamic drives. Dynamic drives are used for removable disks, such as CDs, DVDs or
USB sticks.
Warning
Please note that all file accesses by processes recorded in the list are excluded
from the scan for viruses and unwanted programs! The Windows Explorer and
the operating system itself cannot be excluded. A corresponding entry in the list
is ignored.
The button opens a window in which you can select an executable file.

window.
