Exempt Files Targeted by Antivirus Scans

*** INTERNAL USE ***

Antivirus Configuration

As with all third-party software not on the Product Integration section, the user assumes the risk of software incompatibility with the exacqVision software suite.

Therefore, if there is an inquiry on what an AV program found and is blocking we should open a ticket with engineering and confirm what the file is, and what it does to help maintain a list of examples that can be excluded.

It is recommended to exempt certain files if they are targeted by scans of the Antivirus program to allow proper functionality of the software.

List of examples for certain scans and why they are important for Exacq Software. The file extension may be ‘.exe’, ‘.ps’ or ‘.ps.1’ for Windows. In Linux it will be ‘.sh’.
