File and folder exclusion articles
This article contains links to articles and pre-filtered lists of content. It covers only the most frequently used articles on file and folder exclusions for ENS 10.x and VSE 8.x. The list isn’t comprehensive and doesn’t contain specific issues that you might experience when you set exclusions. Search the Knowledge Center for either the error you received or a description of the issue you experienced.

IMPORTANT: The Microsoft exclusions and McAfee applications listed in this article aren’t needed for ENS. Exclusions aren’t needed when the ENS option Let McAfee Decide is selected. The option is available when choosing to scan files with the on-access scanner. For more information about how the option Let McAfee Decide uses the AMCore trust model for scan avoidance. For details, see the Understanding McAfee Next Generation Performance Technology document.
