also exclude a folder from virus and spyware
scans on Mac clients.
See Excluding a file or a folder from scans"
on page 244.
Supported on Windows clients.
Excludes a known risk from virus and spyware
scans. The scans ignore the risk, but you can
configure the exception so that the scans log the
detection. In either case, the client software does
not notify users when it detects the specified
risks.
If a user configures custom actions for a known
risk that you configure to ignore, Symantec
Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition
ignores the custom actions.

spyware scans" on page 245.

from virus and spyware scans.

spyware scans" on page 245.
Extension exceptions do not apply to SONAR.

Use the Application to monitor exception to force
virus and spyware scans or SONAR to detect an
application. When clients detect the application,
you can create an exception to allow or block the
application.
