Exclusions

This section helps to exclude as well as add the files/folders in the process of scanning and tag the type of scanning it from which it should be excluded. General guidelines for the selection is:

Exclude the file/folder from known virus detection If you get a virus alarm and you are sure that the file is not infected (Case of False Alarm for known virus).

Exclude the file/folder from known virus detection If you get a heuristic warning for a file and you are sure that it is not infected.

Exclude the file/folder from Integrity Checking If you get an Integrity Check failed alarm. This happens because sometimes, some programs change their executable files frequently and it may result into an integrity check fail warning. In such cases it is advisable to include them into the exclusion list from the Integrity Checking Algorithm.
