[Exclude specific network path from scanning]

Thanks ElvinE5!

I know how to exclude local applications. These apps run perfectly since they all have locally installed client runtimes.

The Problem is that the executable isn’t on the local file system. It runs directly from the server share (\\hostname\path\example.exe). We already exclude the files on the server itself, but the performance issue is on the client side.

So, there is no other way to exclude an UNC path from scanning except disabling it for all network shares?

[Exclude specific network path from scanning]

We use Kaspersky Endpoint Security (Cloud) version 12.1.0.506 on Windows 10 Clients. I already found an option to disable the scanning of network shares completely (Security settings -> File Threat Protection -> Network drives scan). But that’s not the thing i need - I just want to exclude a specific host or unc path to be excluded.

The background is easy. We have software installed on a server. On each start Endpoint Security checks the executable and other files the software depends on. So the startup is very slow and the performance more than poor.

I already tried to add an exclusion in Advanced -> Threat detection and exclusions -> Trusted applications -> Add a trusted application like this:

Path or path mask to the application
\\hostname\path

I replaced hostname with the ip address but without luck.

Do use the wrong syntax for the unc path?
