Note
If a directory is excluded, all its sub-directories are automatically also excluded.
Note
For each drive you can specify a maximum of 20 exceptions by entering the complete
path (starting with the drive letter).
For example: C:\Program Files\Application\Name.log
The maximum number of exceptions without a complete path is 64.
For example: *.log
Note
In case of dynamic drives that are mounted as a directory on another drive, the alias of
the operating system for the integrated drive in the list of the exceptions has to be used:
e.g. \Device\HarddiskDmVolumes\PhysicalDmVolumes\BlockVolume1\
If you use the mount point itself, for example, C:\DynDrive, the dynamic drive will be
scanned nonetheless. You can determine the alias of the operating system to be used
from the Guard report file.
The button opens a window in which you can select the file object to be excluded.
Add
With this button, you can add the file object entered in the input box to the display
window.

Note
In order to also exclude objects when they are accessed with short DOS file names (DOS
name convention 8.3), the relevant short file name must also be entered in the list.
Note
A file name that contains wildcards may not be terminated with a backslash.
For example:
C:\Program Files\Application\applic*.exe
\
This entry is not valid and not treated as an exception!
Note
You can locate the path Guard uses to scan for infected files in the Guard report file.
Indicate exactly the same path in the list of exceptions. Proceed as follows: Set the
protocol function of the Guard to
Complete in the configuration under Guard::Report.
Now access the files, folders, mounted drives with the activated Guard. You can now read
the path to be used from the Guard report file. The report file can be accessed in the
Control Center under Local protection::Guard.
Examples for processes to be excluded:
–
application.exe
The application.exe process is excluded from the Guard scan, irrespective of which
hard disk drive it is located on and which directory it is in.
–
C:\Program Files1\Application.exe
