Exclude Remote Files

BeaconLightBoy

I have a computer in a policy that has 'exclude remote files' set under windows exceptions.  Whenever i attempt to run a 'test virus file' on a network drive, it immediately is quarantined.  why is this?  I set it to exclude remote files.  so if i run a bad file off of a network drive, then it should run yes?

if i am wrong, then what good is this setting?  as every application or file you accessfrom the network is going to be loaded locally first.

    It appears to me that the exclude remote files doesn't work on mapped drives.  Neither does excluding them.  What's odd is that i entered the exclusion on the mapped drive, but it detected it via UNC.  but then denied location is a mapped drive.  I also also told the policy to exclude the UNC path as well, it finds the virus no matter what.
