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.

    Could  you please post the exclusions you used? (and I'll run some tests with excluding remote files tomorrow)

    Edit: Works as expected - excluded "All remote files" (using the local GUI as well as by policy - you'll note that in the GUI it looks identical) and was able to access eicar.com both via a mapped drive and a UNC path.

    As for UNC vs. drive letter please see my reply on the Validating exceptions thread.
