Exclusions

• Click 'Antivirus' > 'Scanner Settings' > 'Exclusion' to open this interface

• The 'Exclusions' tab in the Scanner Settings panel displays a list of applications/files for which you have selected 'Ignore' in the 'Scan Results' window of 'Run a Scan' option or added to 'Exclusions' from an Antivirus alert.

All items listed in the 'Exclusions' area are excluded from future scans of all types.

Also, you can manually define trusted files or applications to be excluded from a scan.

To define a file/application as trusted and to be excluded from scanning

1. Click 'Add'.

You now have 2 methods available to choose the application that you want to trust – 'Browse Files...' and 'Browse Running Processes'.

• Browse Files... - This option is the easiest for most users and simply allows you to browse the files which you want to exclude from a virus scan.

• Browse Running Processes - As the name suggests, this option allows you to choose the target application from a list of processes that are currently running on your computer.

When you have chosen the application using one of the methods above, the application name appears along with its location.

2. Click 'OK' for the settings to take effect.

• Select the file or application for the list of excluded items

• Click 'Edit'

• Make the required changes for the file path in the 'Edit Property' dialog.
