Trend Micro recommends the following exclusions:

  • Oracle database files (if Oracle is installed under /opt)
    • /opt/oracle/.*\.dbf
    • /opt/oracle/.*\.ctl
    • /opt/oracle/.*\.log
  • Evolution data files
  • Thunderbird data files
  • Encrypted files
  • JAR files for Real-Time Scan
  • Archive files for Real-Time Scan
  • DTX files for Real-Time Scan
  • WAR files
  • Groupwise folders
  • Selected Open Enterprise Server files
    • /media/nss/<VOLUME_NAME>/._NETWARE
    • /media/nss/<VOLUME_NAME>/._ADMIN
 
When you exclude the JAR file from Real-Time scanning, make sure to run On-Demand Scan on the JAR file before accessing it.
There is no need to add /proc, /sys and /var/opt/ds_agent in the exclusion list as they are excluded by default.
 
 
For security reasons, it is not recommended to exclude temp folders.
