I have searched the forum several times and tried google as well but all I can find is pattern matching exclusions. Is there a way to make clamwin ignore certain directories completely during a scan?

If not, is this a planned feature? There are many of us with huge data directories we know are clean and it would be very helpful to not scan them every time the nightly scan runs since the data is read-only anyways.

Thanks!

you can use regular expressions for exclusions/inclusions

to exclude c:\path\folder and all its subfolders use this syntax
<c\:\\path\\folder\\.*>
Note that if you scan an individual file, exclusion filters are not applied

Thank you
