Scan Exclusion List (Directories)

Trend Micro Apex One will not scan all files found under a specific directory on the computer. You can specify a maximum of 256 directories.

Note

By excluding a directory from scans, Trend Micro Apex One automatically excludes all of the directory’s sub-directories from scans.

You can also choose Exclude directories where Trend Micro products are installed. If you select this option, Trend Micro Apex One automatically excludes some directories under <Server installation folder> from scanning.

Note

For more information about the location of the server installation folder, see Server installation folder.
During a Manual Scan, Trend Micro Apex One still scans the server installation folder.

Also configure Trend Micro Apex One to exclude Microsoft Exchange 2000/2003 directories by going to the Scan Settings section of Agents → Global Agent Settings on the Security Settings tab. If you use Microsoft Exchange 2007 or later, manually add the directory to the scan exclusion list. Refer to the following site for scan exclusion details:

When you configure the file list, choose from the following options:

Retains current list (default): Trend Micro Apex One provides this option to prevent the accidental overwriting of the agent’s existing exclusion list. In order to save and deploy changes made to the exclusion list, select any of the other options.
Overwrites: This option removes and replaces the entire exclusion list on the agent with the current list. After clicking Apply to All Agents, Trend Micro Apex One displays a confirmation warning message.
Adds paths to: This option adds the items in the current list to the agent’s existing exclusion list. If an item already exists in the agent’s exclusion list, the agent ignores the item.
Removes paths from: This option removes the items in the current list from the agent's existing exclusion list, if found.
