Adding Files and Folders to Exclusions

To reduce false positives in the future, you can add files and folders to exclusions.

Add files and folders to exclusions only if you know they aren't malicious.

If you decide the threat may be malicious later, you can also remove the threat from the exclusions.

   NOTE If you leave Description empty, the field is filled automatically.
