Scan exclusion lists for files and directories support the use of wildcard characters. Use the "?" character to replace one character and "*" to replace several characters.
Use wildcard characters cautiously. Using the wrong character might exclude incorrect files or directories. For example, adding C:\* to the Scan Exclusion List (Files) would exclude the entire C:\ drive.
