Validating Exceptions

BeaconLightBoy

Does anyone know any way to validate the exceptions we enter under on access scanning are indeed being excluded.  I have had an issue with exclusions not working in the past, especially directory based exceptions, and recently another problem has come to light and i want to be sure the excluded files are not being scanned.  Any idears?

    Thanks.  My testing has revealed the following, which confuses me.  When i try to save the file to an excluded directory on my file server, the file server sends a warning message about a potentially dangerous file, but doesn't act on it, but waits for me to acknowledge it before it lets the file show up in the directory.

    if i copy it to a directory that's not excluded, i get an immediate virus found and removed message.  So.  why do i even get a warning if scanning is disabled?  if i get a warning, then, the this tells me the directory isn't excluded from scans, just any action is prevented.

    could someone clarify?
