• The first path shown in the table is the default installation path. If you have chosen to install MSMS to a non-default folder, make sure that you specify that path for the exclusion.
• The PSHData folder is created under the installation folder by default and contains the Quarantine Database. But, this folder is configurable in the MSMS interface under Settings & Diagnostics, Detected Items. If you choose to locate the Quarantine Database in a different folder (or even a different local drive), make sure that the correct path is excluded.

For Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007/2010/2013 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952167, which explains why you need to exclude certain folders from antivirus scanning.

How to configure exclusions in ENS/VSE:
When you configure exclusions, always apply the principle that the more precise the exclusion, the smaller the potential security risk. For instructions to configure exclusions, see the following documentation:

• For ENS, see the "Preventing Threat Prevention from blocking trusted programs, networks, and services" section of the Endpoint Security 10.7 Product Guide
