Steps to exclude a folder or file from real-time scanning and DeepGuard for Client Security and Server Security in Policy Manager Console
Resolution:
You can exclude a file or folder from Real-time scanning and DeepGuard by following the steps below:
- Log into Policy Manager Console
- Click on Settings
- Select Standard view
- Select Real-time scanning
- Scroll down to Files and applications excluded from scanning
- Select Do not scan the following files and applications
- Click Add
- Enter the full path for each files, folder or SHA-1 of the application. Example:
- Select File path if the file that you want to exclude always uses the same path.
- Select Folder path if you want to exclude all files in a specific folder.
- Select Application SHA-1 if the path for the file that you want to exclude may vary across different hosts.
NOTE:
If the file or folder is located in share drive, you need to add the exclusion in UNC format.
Example:
\\servername\share\folder\to\the\app.exe
If this location is also mapped to a drive letter (e.g. N:\), then another exclusion must also be added in the mapped format as the following:
N:\folder\to\the\app.exe
