R is a regular expression.
Trend Micro does not recommend using ".*" in a regular expression. ".*" matches any length of letters and the large number of matches may increase memory usage and affect performance.
For example:
If the content is 123456abc, the regular expression ".*abc" match results are:
  • 12345abc
  • 23455abc
  • 3456abc
  • 456abc
  • 56abc
  • 6abc
  • abc
In this example, replace ".*abc" with "abc" to prevent excessive use of resources.
