Add Exclusion or Edit Exclusion

You can exclude an executable from on-access scans or on-demand scans.

Trellix ENS treats all file and folder exclusions as case insensitive — all case variations of the specified locations are excluded. For example, if you exclude C:\Temp\ABC, Trellix ENS also excludes C:\temp\abc and C:\TEMP\Abc.
