Antivirus exclusions

Avatar
Jeff Eisenberg

We're running some simple deploys that keep getting blocked by Avast antivirus.  It seems to block different PDQ executables in different directories each time.  Don't you have a list of what we should exclude in antivirus?

    Hi Jeff,

    You will want to exclude the following paths: (%WINDIR% usually = C:\Windows)

    %WINDIR%\AdminArsenal

    %WINDIR%\PDQDeployRunner

    %WINDIR%\PDQInventory-Scanner

    Obviously when PDQ products access the Windows directory the ADMIN$ is used.  (This is the default share name of the Windows directory)

    The bottom two paths are hold-overs from earlier versions of the software. Upgrades will continue to use those old paths until you change them.
