How to prepare the exclusions lists

 

The Exclusions list (directories, files and extensions that Platinum Internet Security should not scan) can be defined from the scan configuration. The automatic mail protection however does not allow exclusions to be configured.

 

Through this exclusions configuration tab you can prepare and customize the list of items (directories, files and extensions) that Platinum Internet Security should not scan. In order to include any of these items in the corresponding list of extensions, click on Add.

 

For directory and files, a dialog box containing two columns with several buttons between them will be displayed. The left column shows the Selection tree. This tree is used to select the items (directories and files) that you do not want Platinum Internet Security to scan. The right column shows the Items to exclude. This list shows the items (directories and files) that you have just added so that they will not be scanned.

 

How to add items to the list of Items to exclude

1.    Using the + symbols on the left of each disk drive and directory, open the directory path until you reach the preferred item (directory or file).

2.    When you have selected an item, click on the image\P7BFlechaD_shg.gif button. The item selected in the Selection tree will be added to Items to exclude.

 

How to remove items from the list of Items to exclude

1.    Select an item (directory or file) in the list of Items to exclude.

2.    In order to delete the selected items from the list, click on the image\P7BFlechaI_shg.gif button.

 

If you want to delete all of the items from the list, click on the image\P7BFlechaI2_shg.gif button.

 

Excluding extensions works in a different way. Simply enter the extension in the New extension text box and click on the Add button to include this extension in the list of exclusions.
