The final settings which need to be configured will vary depending on the software that is installed on the server. For instance, database and backup software should be excluded from the real-time and On-demand scanners. When entering the directory paths, make sure that *.* is added to the end of each entry. As an example, the following directory paths should be excluded if the server is running Microsoft Exchange:
%ProgramFiles%\Exchsrvr\MDBData\*.*
%ProgramFiles%\Exchsrvr\Mtadata\*.*
%ProgramFiles%\Exchsrvr\Server_Name.log
%ProgramFiles%\Exchsrvr\Mailroot\*.*
%ProgramFiles%\Exchsrvr\Srsdata\*.*
%SystemRoot%\System32\Inetsrv\*.*
%ProgramFiles%\Exchsrvr\IMCData\*.*
