Hi<br />
<br />
We are running McAfee ePO 4.0 along with VirusScan 8.5<br />
<br />
I need to exclude a folder from the on-access scan...however, I notice that I can do this either via amending one of the following policies..<br />
<br />
On-Access Default Processes Policies<br />
On-Access General Policies<br />
On-Access High-Risk Processes Policies<br />
On-Access Low-Risk Processes Policies<br />
<br />
I'm confused which one(s) I need to edit to exclude that particular folder...can anyone help?<br />
<br />
Is it also recommended to exclude such folders from the on-demand scan policy?<br />
<br />
Cheers!

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
