Title: General Exclusions Question
Post by: fireworksheavens on January 02, 2019, 07:19:27 AM

I've always noticed that there are 3 separate Exclusions lists, one under the General tab, one under File Shield, and one under Behavior Shield. I'm just curious as to why there isn't one centralized Exclusions menu, instead of one for each part of the antivirus? Is there really any difference between the one under the General tab versus the File Shield, for the active shield that's always running no matter what you do on your computer?
Thanks!

Good news, we'll get this in V19.

Wow, I'm impressed! I didn't expect that update to come so quickly. The exclusions list is much easier to use now, and the settings menu makes a lot more sense too.
