Global Exclusions
You can choose to skip certain traffic of being scanned for malware while the Network Protection options are enabled.

Note
These exclusions apply to Traffic Scan and Antiphishing, in the Web Protection section, and to Network Attack Defense, in the Network Attacks section. Data Protection exclusions are configurable separately, in the Content Control section.

To define an exclusion:
1. Select the exclusion type from the menu.
2. Depending on the exclusion type, define the traffic entity to be excluded from
scanning as follows:

• IP/mask. Enter the IP address or the IP mask for which you do not want to scan the incoming and outgoing traffic, which includes network attack techniques.
• URL. Excludes from scanning the specified web addresses. Take into account that URL-based scan exclusions apply differently for HTTP versus HTTPS connections, as explained hereinafter.

You can define a URL-based scan exclusion as follows:
– Enter a specific URL, such as www.example.com/example.html

• In the case of HTTP connections, only the specific URL is excluded from scanning
• For HTTPS connections, adding a specific URL excludes the entire domain and any of its subdomains. Therefore, in this case, you can specify directly the domain to be excluded from scanning.

– Use wildcards to define web address patterns (only for HTTP connections).

Important ❌
Wildcard exceptions do not work for HTTPS connections.
You can use the following wildcards:

• Double asterisk (**) substitutes for zero or more characters.
• Single asterisk (*) substitutes for zero or more characters between the path delimiters.
• Question mark (?) substitutes for exactly one character. You can use several question marks to define any combination of a specific number of characters. For example, ??? substitutes for any combination of exactly three characters.

Note ❗
The option is available in both Control Center and Power User policy settings, under Antimalware > Settings > Custom Exclusions section.

In the following table, you can find several syntax samples for specifying
web addresses (URLs). 👇🏻

Note ❗
You can use protocol-relative URLs.

● Application. Excludes from scanning the specified process or application.
To define an application scan exclusion:
– Enter the full application path. For example, C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

– Use environment variables to specify the application path. For example: %programfiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

– Use wildcards to specify any applications matching a certain name
pattern. For example:
● c*.exe matches all applications starting with "c" (chrome.exe).

● ??????.exe matches all applications with a name that contains six characters (chrome.exe, safari.exe, etc.).

● [^c]*.exe matches all application except for those starting with "c".

● [^ci]*.exe matches all application except for those starting with "c" or "i".

3. Click the Add button at the right side of the table.
To remove an entity from the list, click the corresponding Delete button
