  • It is recommended to disable your scanner for Automatic Update Database files.
  • Log files scanning which are located in %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Logs folder should be turned off, specially, the below mentioned files should be excluded.

Res*.log

Res*.jrs

Edb.chk

Tmp.edb

  • You must also disable the windows security scan files. Certain files should be excluded on %windir%\Security\Database path which are:

*.edb

*.sdb

*.log

*.chk

*.jrs

In the event that it is not, the antivirus software will not permit access to the files in a proper manner and could alter your security data. It is not recommended to use these files or implement the security rules for these files, even if they've been checked once.

  • Files that are related to Group Policy must not be scanned. Files of user registry information are located in %allusersprofile%\ folder must be excluded and files of Group Policy client settings are located in %Systemroot%\System32\GroupPolicy\ but Registry.pol must be excluded.

They include only the elements of the operating system. It is simple to remove all folders, but exclusion of certain files that are that are named after files will provide more security for your PC.
