window.

Delete

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

Please note the further information when specifying exceptions:

Note

In order to also exclude objects when they are accessed with short DOS file names (DOS

name convention 8.3), the relevant short file name must also be entered in the list.

Note

A file name that contains wildcards may not be terminated with a backslash.

For example:

C:\Program Files\Application\applic*.exe\

This entry is not valid and not treated as an exception!

Note

Please note the following with regard to exceptions on connected network drives: If you

use the drive letter of the connected network drive, the files and folders specified are

NOT excluded from the Guard scan. If the UNC path in the list of exceptions differs from

the UNC path used to connect to the network drive (IP address specification in the list of

exceptions – specification of computer name for connection to network drive), the

specified folders and files are NOT excluded by the Guard scan. Locate the relevant UNC

path in the Guard report file:

\\<Computer name>\<Enable>\ - OR - \\<IP address>\<Enable>\

Note

You can locate the path Guard uses to scan for infected files in the Guard report file.

Indicate exactly the same path in the list of exceptions. Proceed as follows: Set the

protocol function of the Guard to Complete in the configuration under Guard::Report.

Now access the files, folders, mounted drives or connected network drives with the

activated Guard. You can now read the path to be used from the Guard report file.

Note

If you are managing the AntiVir program in SMC, you can use variables in the path

details for process and file exceptions. You can find a list of variables you can use under

Variables: Guard and Scanner Exceptions.

Examples for processes to be excluded:

– application.exe

The application.exe process is excluded from the Guard scan, irrespective of which

hard disk drive it is located on and which directory it is in.

– C:\Program Files1\Application.exe

The process for the file application.exe, which is located under the path C:\Program

Files1, is excluded from the Guard scan.

– C:\Program Files1\*.exe
