Configuring Exclusion Settings in CatchPulse Policy

CatchPulse automatically scans your entire computer with Cloud AV once every 24 hours and provides real-time protection against new possible threats that are saved to your PC's hard drive.

However, you can manually exclude files and folders from being scanned. Files and folders added to the exclusion list will not be scanned by CatchPulse's offline and cloud AVs, and their contents will not be uploaded to the cloud.
