How do I omit a directory

I have one directory on my drive that has a LOT of files. I do backups there every six months. So at this point, there are over 300,000 files that really don't need to be scanned over and over.

Is there a way to flag a directory to be ignored during a scan? I'm not talking about doing a "custom scan", but something that will allow me to do a full or deep scan without that directory.

Thanks!

 

I believe there is a Option in tools called Detection Override, if you just add that folder to it. It should skip it or at least not check those files every scan. I'm unable to check because my main computer I'm having to format my due to a Hard Drive failure I suffered last night. So I'm stuck on my work laptop.

 

Ah, ok. I thought that was a list of things that it reports that it okays. I'll give it a try. Thanks!
