How then is the pagefile.sys being scanned if it is excluded by default, my only though is that the exclusions don't have it. This was detected by an on-demand scan by insider.
On my system it is in the standard shield exclusions but not in the Program Settings, Exclusions, so it would be scanned by the on-demand scan and ashquick.exe if used.
So if it is in the Standard Shield exclusions by default, why not the the Program Settings, Exclusions ?
