Scan All Files on Access

By default, all file are scanned when they are opened or used.

You can configure Trusted Processes as exceptions. When a trusted process accesses a file, the file is not scanned. Exclude a process only if you fully trust it and are sure it is not malware.

To configure trusted processes:

1. In the Properties of the Scan all files on Access Action, click Add.
2. In the Trusted Processes window, enter the fully qualified path or an environment variable for the trusted executable file. For example:
   • C:\Program Files\MyTrustedDirectory\MyTrustedProgram.exe
   • %programdata%\MyTrustedProgram.exe
3. Click OK.

   The trusted program shows in the Trusted Processes list.
