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.

Add

With this button, you can add the process entered in the input box to the display

window.

Delete

With this button you can delete a selected process from the display window.

File objects to be omitted by the Guard

All file accesses to objects in this list are excluded from monitoring by the Guard.

Input box

In this box you can enter the name of the file object that is not included in the on-access

scan. No file object is entered as the default setting.

Note

When specifying file objects to be omitted, you can use the wildcards* (any number of

characters) and ?? (a single character): Individual file extensions can also be excluded

(including wildcards):

C:\Directory\*.mdb

*.mdb

*.md?

*.xls*

C:\Directory\*.log

Note

Directory names must end with a backslash \, otherwise a file name is assumed.

Note

The entries in the list must have no more than 6000 characters in total.

Note

If a directory is excluded, all its sub-directories are automatically also excluded.

Note

For each drive you can specify a maximum of 20 exceptions by entering the complete

path (starting with the drive letter).

For example: C:\Program Files\Application\Name.log

The maximum number of exceptions without a complete path is 64.

For example: *.log

\computer1\C\directory1

Note

In case of dynamic drives that are mounted as a directory on another drive, the alias of

the operating system for the integrated drive in the list of the exceptions has to be used:

e.g. \Device\HarddiskDmVolumes\PhysicalDmVolumes\BlockVolume1\

If you use the mount point itself, for example, C:\DynDrive, the dynamic drive will be

scanned nonetheless. You can determine the alias of the operating system to be used

from the Guard report file.
