Enable the list of excluded objects - enable the option of creating a list of objects that will not be scanned by using masks or selecting specific files or folders. File masks may be specified in the text field below or you can us the Change... button to select the objects.

We do not recommend using mask *.* or * to specify such exclusions as this will be equivalent to disabling the scan altogether.

Provided below are valid examples of exclusion masks:

Masks used without specifying the path:
*.exe - all files with extension exe
*.ex? - all files with extension ex?, where ? is used as a placeholder for one character
test - all files with filename test
Masks used with absolute paths to objects:
C:\dir\*.* - all files in folder C:\dir\
C:\dir\*.exe - all files with extension exe in folder C:\dir\
C:\dir\*.ex? - all files with extension ex? in folder C:\dir\, where ? is used as a placeholder for one character
C:\dir\test - file C:\dir\test only
C:\dir\ - all files in folder C:\dir\ including all subfolders
Masks used with relative paths to objects:
dir\*.* - all files in all folders under dir\

dir\*.exe - all files with extension exe in all folders under dir\
dir\*.ex? - all files with extension ex? in all folders under dir\, , where ? is used as a placeholder for one character
