SummaryThe VirusScan Enterprise (VSE) on-access scanner scans each file when it is accessed. Because some applications constantly access a high number of files, you might need to set exclusions to improve the performance of these applications. These exclusions do not have to lower the security of your system; VSE allows you to set specific exclusions.

ProblemSystem performance degrades when certain files are scanned.

For standalone installations:
For ePO managed installations:
