Hi, Does anyone know how to format the exclusions correctly within the configuration editor? If I want to exclude a drive; c:\* If I want to exclude all .doc files on a drive; c:\*.doc If I want to exclude all files in c:\temp; c:\temp\*.* But the above exclusion does not include the subdirs within c:\temp, how do I realise the exclusion of the files in a direcotry including the subdirs? Could it be anything like; c:\temp\* Kind regards, Rene.
You cannot exclude an entire directory tree, only specific files matching the wildcard filters in the specified directory.
Agreed. Which is cr4p IMHO. My exclusions list now contains 34 entries, 29 of them all with the same parent path (C:\Program Files\Sage Line 50\). Q. When did *.* not mean *.* A. When it's ESET! Jim
No, it won't. Otherwise my sub-folders in BOINC would get scanned, which they don't. You can even test this by right clicking and selecting scan.
I have asked the Eset support, this is their answer: ----------------------------------------- Hello, Thank you for contacting ESET Customer Care. When you exclude a folder with *.* this includes the subfolders as well. Thank you for using ESET security products, ESET Customer Care ----------------------------------------- Kind regards, Rene.
If you want to exclude all files/subfolders in a particular path, then *.* does work. However, if you want to exclude a particular file extension (e.g. all *.log files) from scanning, then go into Advanced Setup, then Threatsense engine parameter setup for each scan type you want to add the exclusion to (e.g. real-time scanning or on-demand scanning etc.) Now click on Extensions and add any extension you wish NOT to be scanned (e.g. LOG in my example).
