Note
As you set the protection level higher, Active Virus Control will require fewer signs
of malware-like behavior to report a process. This will lead to a higher number of
applications being reported and, at the same time, to an increased likelihood of
false positives (clean applications detected as malicious).
16.6.4. Managing excluded processes
You can configure exclusion rules for trusted applications so that Active Virus Control
does not block them if they perform malware-like actions. Active Virus Control will
continue to monitor excluded applications. If an excluded application is detected
to perform suspicious activities, the event will simply be logged and reported to
Bitdefender Cloud as detection error.
To manage Active Virus Control process exclusions, follow these steps:
1. Open the Bitdefender window.
2. Click the Settings button on the upper toolbar.
3. In the Settings Overview window, select Antivirus.
4. In the Antivirus Settings window, select the Exclusions tab.
5. Click the Excluded processes link. In the window that appears, you can manage
the Active Virus Control process exclusions.
Note
Process exclusions also apply to the Intrusion Detection System included in the
Bitdefender firewall.
6. Add exclusions by following these steps:
a. Click the Add button, located at the top of the exclusions table.
b. Click Browse, find and select the application you want to be excluded and
then click OK.
c. Keep the Allow option selected to prevent Active Virus Control from blocking
the application.
d. Click Add.
7. To remove or edit exclusions, proceed as follows:
● To remove an entry from the table, select it and click the Delete button.
● To edit an entry from the table, double-click it (or select it) and click the Modify
button. Make the necessary changes, then click Modify.
8. Save the changes and close the window.
