Tip:
*.* and * exclusion masks can only be used if you assign a classification
excluded according to the Virus Encyclopedia. Otherwise the threat specified
will not be detected in any objects. Using these masks without selecting a
classification essentially disables monitoring.
We also do not recommend that you select a virtual drive created on the basis
of a file system directory using the
subst
command as an exclusion. There is no
point in doing so, since during the scan, the program perceives this virtual drive
as a folder and consequently scans it.
A.3. Possible exclusion masks by
Virus Encyclopedia
classification
When adding threats with a certain status from the Virus Encyclopedia
classification as exclusions, you can specify:
•
the full name of the threat as given in the Virus Encyclopedia at
www.viruslist.com
(for example,
not-a-
virus:RiskWare.RemoteAdmin.RA.311
or
Flooder.Win32.Fuxx);
•
threat name by mask. For example:
•
not-a-virus*
– excludes potential dangerous programs from the
scan, as well as joke programs.
•
*Riskware.*
– excludes riskware from the scan.
•
*RemoteAdmin.*
– excludes all remote administration
programs from the scan.
