To exclude known risks from virus and spyware scans
1
On the Exceptions Policy page, click Exceptions.
2
Under Exceptions, click Add > Windows Exceptions > Known Risks.
3
In the Known Security Risk Exceptions dialog box, select one or more security
risks that you want to exclude from virus and spyware scans.
4
Check Log when the security risk is detected if you want to log the detection.
If you do not check this option, the client ignores the risk when it detects the
selected risks. The client therefore does not log the detection.
5
Click OK.
6
If you are finished with the configuration for this policy, click OK.
You can add multiple file extensions to an exception. After you create the
exception, you cannot create another extensions exception for the same policy.
You must edit the existing exception.
You can add only one extension at a time. If you enter multiple extension names
in the Add text box, the policy treats the entry as a single extension name.
