Does an Elements real-time scanning > Excluded objects exclusion also exclude DeepGuard?
Last updated
Issue:
If I create in the Elements Endpoint Protection device profile a Real-time scanning > Excluded objects exclusion, will it also exclude that file or path from the DeepGuard feaure?
Resolution:
The Excluded objects exclusion on the Elements profile's Real-time scanning settings page excludes the file or folder only from real-time scanning and not DeepGuard.
To create a DeepGuard exclusion, you need to add the file or folder path to the Scanning settings > Global exclusions list or to Real-time scanning > DeepGuard settings > Protection rules list.
