10.3.1. Scan Exceptions
If you want to, you can set Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac not to scan specific
files, folders, or even an entire volume. For example, you might want to
exclude from scanning:
● Files that are mistakenly identified as infected (known as false positives)
● Files that cause scanning errors
● Backup volumes
Scan Exceptions
The exceptions list contains the paths that have been excluded from
scanning.
There are two ways to set a scan exception:
● Drag&drop a file, folder or volume over the exceptions list.
● Click the button labeled with the plus sign (+), located under the exceptions
list. Then, choose the file, folder or volume to be excluded from scanning.
To remove a scan exception, select it from the list and click the button labeled
with the minus sign (-), located under the exceptions list.
