Scan Exclusions Parent topic

Configure scan exclusions to increase the scanning performance and skip scanning files causing false alarms. When a particular scan type runs, OfficeScan checks the scan exclusion list to determine which files on the computer will be excluded from both virus/malware and spyware/grayware scanning.
When you enable scan exclusion, OfficeScan will not scan a file under the following conditions:
  • The file is found under a specific directory (or any of its sub-directories).
  • The file name matches any of the names in the exclusion list.
  • The file extension matches any of the extensions in the exclusion list.
