Configuring Scan Exceptions

To specify directories, files, or folders to exclude from the list of items to scan:

1. In the ANTIVIRUS tab panel click Settings.

   The advanced Antivirus/Anti-spyware Settings window opens.

2. Select Exceptions from the navigation tree.
3. Click Add.

   The Add Antivirus Exception window opens.

4. From the Select Type drop-down menu select:
   • On-Access Scan, if you want to exclude the selected file(s)/folder(s) from on-access scans.
   • Trusted Process, if you want an application to be exempt from the on-access scans. Any file such application opens will not be scanned.
5. Fill in the Select exception field in one of these two ways:
   • type a name of a file or a folder, or a wildcard string, using the Sample formats shown in the Add Antivirus Exception dialog box, or
   • click Browse and navigate to a folder or a file of your choice.
6. Click OK.
