    First of all thanks to this forum - I am converting all my managed AV nodes to ESET due in large part to the quality of information here.

    I have quite a few nodes deployed and am executing a scan via ecls every night. This is done through a third party tool that integrates with my ticketing software. What I am finding is that ecls is not honoring the exclusions I have set in my "default" config xml file, nor does it seem to be cleaning anything.

    Here is the contents of a log file generated with ecls:

    Infected PC: XXXXXXX

    Infected: files - 6, objects 7
    Cleaned: files - 0, objects 0

    As you can see nothing was actually cleaned.

    I also have C:\WINDOWS\LTSvc\*.* added as an exclusion and it's alerting on things in this folder.

    Any suggestions?

    On a side note - is there a way to have all the "error opening", "password protected", etc ... noise not get written to the log file?

    Thanks All!

    Ecls is a stand-alone scanner, it's comletely different than the one accesible via gui. If you want to exclude certain files from scanning, use the /exclude= parameter.
    As for error logging, it's not currently possible to prevent certain error messages from being logged. However, it's an easy task to do it during post-processing using grep or your own script for instance.
