Please note the further information when specifying exceptions:
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.
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!
Please note the following with regard to
exceptions on connected network drives
: If you
use the drive letter of the connected network drive, the files and folders specified are NOT
excluded from the Realtime Protection scan. If the UNC path in the list of exceptions
differs from the UNC path used to connect to the network drive (IP address specification in
the list of exceptions
– specification of computer name for connection to network drive),
the specified folders and files are NOT excluded by the Realtime Protection scan. Locate
the relevant UNC path in the Realtime Protection report file:
\\<Computer name>\<Enable>\
- OR -
\\<IP address>\<Enable>\
You can locate the path Realtime Protection uses to scan for infected files in the Realtime
Protection report file. Indicate exactly the same path in the list of exceptions. Proceed as
follows: Set the protocol function of the Realtime Protection to
Complete
in the
configuration under
Realtime Protection > Report
. Now access the files, folders, mounted
drives or connected network drives with the activated Realtime Protection. You can now
read the path to be used from the Realtime Protection report file. The report file can be
accessed in the Control Center under Local protection > Realtime Protection.
If you are managing the Avira product in AMC, you can use variables in the path details for
process and file exceptions. You can find a list of variables you can use under
