Hello Richard,

maybe it is now time to switch to Linux? 😉
Here we have lot of options to exculde and include paths for scanning (with 
regex support too) 😉
Sorry, i have no experience with clamav on Win as reason that I switched long 
time ago to Ubuntu LTS
But filesize problems while scan we have on Linux too.

Hope that someone other user can support you with the Win Version of clamav.

kind regards,
Marc

Betreff / Subject: [clamav-users] clamscan exclude-dir on Windows
Hi,
I'm trying to make a full scan of my PC with clamscan.exe on Win10. Unfortunately, my C Volume is too big and my PC too 
slow to finish the scan in a day. So of course when I start it the next day, I want to exclude larger directories that 
already have been scanned. That works great with some directories, but I just can't figure out a way to exclude 
C:\Program Files\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\ from the scan. And I did try many variations. "C:\\Program Files 
(x86)\\", "C:\\Program Files*\\", %ProgramFiles(x86)%\\, C:\\"Program Files (x86)"\\ or 
"C:\\Program^ Files^ ^(x86^)\\" but nothing works. Sadly, Googling for that also doesn't bring up anything 
helpful.

Can anybody make any suggestions? And could such tips be included to the 
documentation or somewhere else?

Best Greeting
Richard
