  • 1.  Can I exclude the Recycle Bin from SEP scans?

    Hi, how can I set up an exclusion so SEP won't scan the Recycle Bin, or system volume information?

    Is there a specific reason why you would do this? Malware is still on the system and should be removed ideally.

    You would set them like any other folder path

    \$Recycle.Bin\%SID%, where %SID% is the SID of the user

    C:\Windows\SYSVOL

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    It just adds to the amount of time that a full scan takes.  We were looking at narrowing down the timeframe and I thought if we excluded these two locations we could shave some time off the scan.

    Not sure if recycle bin would cause a decrease in scan time.
