OfficeScan 10 Administrator's Guide - Online Help Home - Trend Micro

Protecting Computers from Security Risks
Also configure OfficeScan to exclude Microsoft Exchange 2000/2003 directories by
going to Networked Computers > Global Client Settings > Scan Settings. If you
use Microsoft Exchange 2007, manually add the directory to the scan exclusion list.
Refer to the following site for scan exclusion details:

Scan Exclusion List (Files)
OfficeScan will not scan a file if its file name matches any of the names included in this
exclusion list. If you want to exclude a file found under a specific location on the
computer, include the file path, such as C:\Temp\sample.jpg.
You can specify a maximum of 250 files.
Scan Exclusion List (File Extensions)
OfficeScan will not scan a file if its file extension matches any of the extensions included
in this exclusion list. You can specify a maximum of 250 file extensions. A period (.) is
not required before the extension.
For Real-time Scan, use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard character when specifying
extensions. For example, if you do not want to scan all files with extensions starting with
D, such as DOC, DOT or DAT, type D*.
For Manual Scan, Scheduled Scan, and Scan Now, use a question mark (?) or asterisk (*)
as a wildcard character.
Apply Scan Exclusion Settings to All Scan Types
OfficeScan allows you to configure scan exclusion settings for a particular scan type and
then apply the same settings to all the other scan types. For example:
On January 1, OfficeScan administrator Chris found out that there are a large number of
JPG files on client computers and realized that these files do not pose any security
threat. Chris added JPG in the file exclusion list for Manual Scan and then applied this
setting to all scan types. Real-time Scan, Scan Now, and Scheduled Scan are now set to
skip scanning .jpg files.
A week later, Chris removed JPG from the exclusion list for Real-time Scan but did not
apply scan exclusion settings to all scan types. JPG files will now be scanned but only
during Real-time Scan.
