To exclude some folder from scheduled AVG test on the client stations, please proceed as follows:
- Open AVG Admin Console
- Open the level of settings you wish to edit:
- for all stations connected to AVG Admin open menu Tools -> Shared settings for stations,
- for stations in one group please right-click on the group -> Shared settings for group,
- for one station please double-click on the station.
- Browse to Schedules -> Scheduled scan.
- Switch to tab What to scan and select Scan specific files or folders.
- Specify which drives you wish to be scanned, separated by semicolon
e.g. C:\; D:\; E:\; - To exclude the whole folder, please use the prefix '!'
- ![path];
e.g. !C:\Program Files; will disable scanning of the Program Files folder. - To disable recursion in some folder (so that the contents of that folder are scanned, but not subfolders), please use the prefix '-'
- -[path];
e.g. -C:\Windows\System32; will scan all files in the System32 folder, but not its subfolders. - The result in this example will be:
C:\;D:\;E:\;!C:\Program Files;-C:\Windows\System32;
everything on drives C:, D: and E:, apart from Program Files folder and System32 subfolders will be scanned.
Note:
For informaion on how to exclude folders from AVG test directly on the station, please see FAQ 1355.
