User guide

an asterisk (*) represents a variable string of zero or more characters.

Examples

If you wish to exclude all files in a folder, type the path to the folder and use the mask “*.*”.

To exclude an entire drive including all files and subfolders, use the mask "D:\*".

If you want to exclude doc files only, use the mask “*.doc“.

If the name of an executable file has a certain number of characters (and characters vary) and you only know the

first one for sure (say “D”), use the following format: “D????.exe”. Question marks replace the missing (unknown)

characters.

Note: A threat within a file will not be detected by the Real-time file system protection module or Computer scan

module if a file meets the criteria for exclusion from scanning.

Path – Path to excluded files and folders.

Threat – If there is a name of a threat next to an excluded file, it means that the file is only excluded for the given

threat, not completely. If that file becomes infected later with other malware, it will be detected by the antivirus

module. This type of exclusion can only be used for certain types of infiltrations and it can be created either in the

threat alert window reporting the infiltration (click Show advanced options and then select Exclude from detection),

or by clicking Setup > Quarantine and then right-clicking the quarantined file and selecting Restore and exclude

from detection from the context menu.

Add... – Excludes objects from detection
