AV Exclusions via Wild Card

LoXodonte

I'm trying to exclude XSN forms downloaded through our intranet from Sophos Scans. First I assumed that anything on the intranet should not be scanned, but to be safe I thought it might be best to create an exclusion, but adding FORM*.xsn is not allowed.

Is it not possible to have wildcards to match the first characters of a file name? We don't want to exclude all XSN forms, just the forms that meet a specific naming convention.

    Hello LoXodonte,

    are you talking about NetWare - the article you are referring to applies to NetWare.

    anything on the intranet should not be scanned

    Which issues do you have with scanning the .xsn forms, BTW? And, well, assuming anything on the Intranet is "clean" is daring :smileywink:. Anyway, if this is about Endpoint exclusions 

    Use the ? wildcard in a file name or extension to match any single character.

At the end of a file name or extension, the ? wildcard matches any single character or no characters: For example, file??.txt matches file.txt, file1.txt, and file12.txt, but not file123.txt.

     thus FORM??????????.xsn would exclude all files with extension xsn where the name starts with FORM followed by 0 to 10 characters.
