Creating exclusions for Panda Cloud Office Protection and Panda Cloud Office Protection Advanced

Information applies to:

Situation

You need to exclude files and/or folders from scanning in Panda Cloud Office Protection.

Solution

Follow the instructions below in order to exclude elements from the scan:

NOTE: The example below covers excluding files for an individual Windows server (an Exchange server), but the procedure to exclude files for a workstation or a group of machines is the same. Just right click on the appropriate container in the console.

1. Access the Panda Cloud Office Protection Web Console.
2. In the Installation and Settings tab, Profiles section, select the profile that is applied to the server where the Exchange is installed.
3. Once in the Edit Profile screen, select Antivirus option and once there, in the Files tab, click Advanced settings.
4. On the Advanced settings screen enter any needed exclusions, such as:
   • Directories
   • files
   • extensions
5. Once all exclusions have been included, save the changes. These changes will be applied in the next update of the signature file.
   
   

Note: In PCOP Advanced, after enabling the Exchange Servers protection in the profile settings, the program will automatically include the exclusions recommended by Microsoft Exchange Server, without having to add them manually.
