Is on-access scanning exclusion possible by other than name or location?

Jump to solution
For instance, can on-access scanning be excluded for files of a given size, or any other characteristics not involving file name or folder location?

Hi @User80539454 , 

Currently for On-Access Scanning you can specify the file type(eg : .pdf , .xml , .ps etc) , File age , File name or path for exclusion . Currently we do not have the ability to specify an exclusion based on file size.

Trustdats, which are built into your dat updates, will exclude scanning on cert things as well, such as signer.  If you want certain things avoided, use a low risk process so you just don't scan that process's activity.
