Why add files and folders to Webroot exclusions?

As we said earlier, most of these problems occur when you download some file from a not very reliable source. Simply put, problems will arise when you have something pirated. However, if you are sure that these files are safe, that their develop

rs can be trusted, then you will have to add them to the exclusions.

Webroot exclusions is a feature that allows you to prevent your antivirus from scanning any files. That is, because If you trust their manufacturers, then it will not be necessary to scan them.

How to add a file to exclusions in Webroot?

Initially, you will need to open your antivirus. If you do not have an icon on your desktop, then go to the hidden icons panel and find the Webroot antivirus icon in the list. From there you can launch the antivirus and go to its main menu.

In the "features" item, at the bottom of the window, you will see the "Virus and Spyware Protection" item. Go to this point. webroot.com/secure

Next, you will be transferred to a new page, on which you should find the item “check PC”, and then select the function “perform a custom check. Next, you need to select "scheduled checks" and, in fact, schedule a check.

There you will see the item "excluded files and folders". At the bottom you will see an "add file" button. This file can be a folder with a file that is blocked by your antivirus, or it can be a file itself. Doesn't matter. 

All you need is to specify the path to the file that you want to add to the exclusions, and then add it. Now, the next time you manually scan or auto scan, your Webroot antivirus will make an exception for the file you selected and stop swearing at it.
