Tip:
*.* and * exclusion masks can only be used if you assign an excluded threat
type according to the Virus Encyclopedia. Otherwise the threat specified will not
be detected in any objects. Using these masks without selecting a threat type
essentially disables monitoring.
We also do not recommend that you select a virtual drive created on the basis
of a file system directory using the subst command as an exclusion. There is no
point in doing so, since during the scan, the program perceives this virtual drive
as a folder and consequently scans it.
A.3. Valid exclusion masks by Virus
Encyclopedia classification
When adding threats with a certain status from the Virus Encyclopedia
classification as exclusions, you can specify:
• the full name of the threat as given in the Virus Encyclopedia at
www.viruslist.com (for example, not-avirus:RiskWare.RemoteAdmin.RA.311
or Flooder.Win32.Fuxx);
• threat name by mask. For example:
• not-a-virus* – excludes potential dangerous programs from the
scan, as well as joke programs.
• *Riskware.* – excludes riskware from the scan.
• *RemoteAdmin.* – excludes all remote administration programs
from the scan.
