Exclude files and folders from virus scans

You can create a custom list of files, paths, and file extensions to exclude from both on-access and on-demand scans for viruses. By selecting a file here, you request that it not be scanned for viruses.

You can exclude a particular type of file you know is not vulnerable to attack or a folder you know is safe. If you are unsure, we recommend not setting exclusions.

To specify exclusions:

1On the Groups + Policies page, click Add Policy (or click Edit to modify an existing policy).

2Click the Virus Protection tab.

3Under Excluded Files and Folders, select the type of exclusion you want to create.

4Specify the value (browse for a file or folder, or type a file extension).

5Click Add Exclusion.

The new exclusion appears in a list.

6Click Save.

To remove an exclusion from the list:

1On the Groups + Policies page, click Add Policy (or click Edit to modify an existing policy).

2Click the Virus Protection tab.

3Under Excluded Files and Folders, in the table listing for the exclusion you want to remove, click remove, then click Save.
