Anti-Malware -> Process Exclusions (on-access only)

Endpoint Security scans files when you create, open, or close them.

When you exclude a trusted process from inspection, it's file or network operation is not scanned. Exclude a process only if you are sure, it is not Malware.

Tip:

We recommend excluding a process if:

  • It's behaviour is abnormal.

  • It's performance is slow after you installed the Anti-Malware blade.

  • A false-positive is detected.

Windows

You can exclude only .EXE files.

Syntax:

Fully qualified paths or an environment variable for the trusted executable.

Examples:

  • C:\Program Files\MyTrustedDirectory\MyTrustedProgram.exe

  • %programdata%\MytrustedProgram.exe

macOS

Syntax:

Fully qualified path for the trusted executable file.

Example:

/Applications/FileZilla.app/Contents/MacOS/filezilla
