Procedure

1. Go to Agents → Policy → Multi-Method Threat Prevention.

   Note For StellarProtect (Legacy Mode), go to Agents → Policy → Threat Prevention

2. Find and click the Real-Time Scan Exclusions or Scheduled Scan Exclusions.
3. The configuration window appears. Click Add to add certain file, folder, or file extension that will be excluded from being scanned.
4. The configuration window appears. Choose from the menu to add scan exclusions:
   • File: Specify a path to the file that does not require scanning.
   • Folder and subfolder: Specify a path to the folder that does not require scanning.
   • File Extension: Specify the file extension of certain files that do not require scanning.

     Note StellarProtect supports only local paths for Scan Exclusions. Remote paths such as an URL or \\[Hostname] are not supported. It is not required to add ".” or “*.” in front of the file extension.

     Tip Click the "+" or "-" icon to add or delete the folder/file paths or file extensions.
