What programs should I add to the 'Exclusions' list?
« on: July 05, 2009, 12:41:04 AM »
Hi ya,

When I right-click on the Avast! tray icon and go to 'Program Settings' there is an 'Exclusions' option that is completely empty.

Should I add things like Thunderbird and Firefox to speed up their load times?

Should I add anything at all?

I would be grateful for any advice :)

Hi Jorolat!

No, you needn't/shouldn't put anything on the exclusion list...

The exclusion list is mainly there to solve problems with false positive detections...

No. That settings are for on-demand scannings. You shouldn't make any exception or you will decrease your protection level.
