The Exclusion page is where you add or edit a process to temporarily exclude it from AAC rules.
Caution
To avoid security risks, remove a global exclusion immediately after use. Failure to remove a global exclusion leaves your systems vulnerable to malware attacks.
When specifying exclusions, consider the following:
- You must specify at least one identifier: Process MD5 hash or Signer certificate MD5 hash.
- If you specify more than one identifier, all identifiers apply.
- If you specify more than one identifier and they don't match, the exclusion is invalid. For example, the file name and MD5 hash don't apply to the same file.
- Exclusions are case insensitive.
- Wildcards are not allowed.
