Exclusions

On the Exclusions tab, you can specify folders and files to be excluded from the SpIDer Guard scans.

The Exclude system files from the scan option instructs to exclude system files, that are included in the internal list of the SpIDer Guard component, from the scan. This list is composed for each Windows OS version according to recommendations from the Microsoft company on using the anti-virus software.

If the option is enabled, the following options are available:

•Exclude Prefetcher DB files option instructs to exclude from scanning database files of the Prefetcher system component.

•Exclude Windows search DB files option instructs to exclude from scanning database files of Windows OS search service.

To configure the list of exclusions

1.To add a file, a folder, or a process to the exclusion list, do one of the following:

•To add an existing object, enter its name without the path.

•To exclude all objects with a particular name, specify the name in the entry field. It is not necessary to specify a path to the object.

•To exclude specific objects, specify the mask of their names to in the entry field. The mask defines a template for an object definition. At that:

▫the asterisk (*) character replaces any, possibly empty, sequence of characters;

▫the question mark (?) replaces any character (one);

▫other mask characters do not replace anything and mean that the name must contain a particular character in this place.

2.You can specify only one object in one field. To add one more object to the list, click .

3.To remove the object from the list of exclusions, click next to the list item that corresponds the object.
