Really disappointed in this. I have tried every combination I can think of on the winsxs folder, with no success. I have tried the full path, *\windows\winsxs\*, *\winsxs\*, *winsxs*, everything I can think of, and yet I still get almost daily detections in this folder. I have applied these settings to scheduled scans, file shield, and global exclusions, and none of these work. I have checked with the client computers, and these exclusions are being propagated; they simply don't work.
Is there anyone out there who has actually gotten an exclusion to work using SOA? As far as I can tell, exclusions are completely broken.
