Scan Exceptions
Folders or files that are known to the safe and free of infections can be added to the Scan Exceptions. Files added to the Scan Exceptions will always be scanned by Faronics Anti-Virus.

This feature is useful since files and folders that are known to be safe by the Administrator will not be reported as malicious.

The File by full path is added to the Scan Exceptions.
