Q6. How can I exclude a folder from real-time scanning?

To exclude a folder from real-time scanning:

1. Open F-Secure Internet Security.
2. Click the Virus & Spy Protection tab and then ‘Advanced…’. The Advanced dialog appears.
3. Click ‘Real-time Scanning’ on the menu list.
4. Click the ‘Exclusions…’ button (on the bottom right corner). The Exclude From Scanning dialog appears.
5. Click the ‘Objects’ tab.
6. Tick the checkbox ‘Exclude Objects (files, folders, …)’.
7. Click the ‘Add’ button and browse to the folder you want to exclude.
