Exclusions Page

Here you can list names or masks for the files to be excluded from scanning. All files with the names which match the name or mask specified will be excluded from scanning (this option is appropriate for temporary files, swap files, etc.).

•Enter the name (mask) of a file that should be excluded from scanning. To add a file residing on your system, you can click Browse and select the file in the standard file chooser. You can also use masks.

A mask denotes the common part of object names, 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 in this place the name must contain this particular character.

Examples:

•Report*.doc defines all Microsoft Word documents which names start with the word "Report" (ReportFebruary.doc, Report121209.doc, etc.).

•*.exe defines all executable files; i.e., that have the EXE extension (setup.exe, iTunes.exe, etc.).

•photo????09.jpg defines all JPG images which names start with the word "photo", end with "09" and contain exact number of 4 other characters in the middle (photo121209.jpg, photoJoe09.jpg, photo----09.jpg, etc.).

•Click the Add button on the right. The file (or file mask) will be added to the list below.

•To remove a file from the list, select it and click Remove. The file will be checked during the next scan.
