Exclude an item if you don't want McAfee to scan it for threats.
You can exclude a file or a folder so McAfee doesn't check it for threats during your custom or scheduled scan. Whenever you want to include the item in your scan, you can remove the item from your list of excluded files and folders. That way, the next time you run a custom or scheduled scan, the item is checked for threats.
 | Some files and folders are critical for the operation of your PC. If you exclude them, you can cause a serious security problem on your PC. |
