Exclusions

 

Click 'Antivirus' > 'Scanner Settings'


The 'Exclusions' tab shows threats which you ignored and and created an exception for. You can create exceptions at a virus alert, or in the results at the end of a scan.


Use this interface to add more exceptions or remove existing exceptions.

  • Note: Managed endpoints – Scanner settings should be configured in the Endpoint Manager profile.

Set the 'Exclusions Scanning' level

  • Open Comodo Client Security
  • Click 'Antivirus' tab
  • Click 'Scanner Settings' > 'Exclusions': 




All items listed in the 'Exclusions' area are excluded from future scans of all types.

Also, you can manually define trusted files or applications to be excluded from a scan.

 

Define a file/application as excluded from scanning

  • Click 'Add'. There are two methods available to choose the application that you want to trust: 'Browse Files...' and 'Browse Running Processes':



  • Browse Files... - This option is the easiest for most users and simply allows you to browse the files which you want to exclude from a virus scan.



  • Browse Running Processes - As the name suggests, this option allows you to choose the target application from a list of processes that are currently running on your computer.




When you have chosen the application using one of the methods above, the application name appears along with its location.

  • Click 'Close.

 

Edit the path (location) of an excluded application
  • Select the file or application for the list of excluded items
