Adding Process Exclusions to Selected Host Sets

To add process exclusions to malware protection processing for selected host sets:

NOTE: See Creating a Custom Policy for more information about using the Web UI to create a custom policy.

Trellix does not recommend adding a global wildcard variable to the process exclusion list because it can reduce security.

Log in to the Web UI as an administrator.
From the Admin menu, select Policies to access the Policies page.
In the Policies table, click the link for the custom policy you want to modify.
Select the Malware Protection tab.
In the Policy Exclusions section, specify the process you want to exclude from malware protection processing by entering the full process path followed by the process name in the field under the Exclude processes from malware scanning.
For example, adding C:\Windows\Folder\executable.exe or *\executable.exe to the process exclusion list will exclude the executable.exe application from malware protection processing.
Click Add to add the process to the list.
Repeat Steps 5 and 6 until you have added all the processes you want to the list.
Click Save.

Now you can assign host sets to the custom policy and set the policy priority level. See Assigning Host Sets to Agent Policies and Configuring Policy Priority Using the Web UI for more information.
