Add or Edit detection exclusion
Exclude detection
A valid ESET detection name should be provided. For a valid detection name, see Log files and then select Detections from the Log files drop-down menu. This is useful when a false positive sample is being detected in ESET Internet Security. Exclusions for real infiltrations are very dangerous, consider excluding only affected files / directories by clicking ... in the Path field and/or only for a temporary period of time. Exclusions apply also to Potentially unwanted applications, potentially unsafe applications and suspicious applications.
See also Path exclusion format.

Exclude URL address The Path field can also include a URL or wildcard "*" character. To exclude the detection, type the supported URL format in the Path field, f.e. https://domain.com or *domain.com*. |
See the Detection exclusions example below.
Exclude hash
Excludes a file based on a specified SHA-1 hash, regardless of the file type, location, name, or extension.

To exclude a specific detection by its name, type the valid detection name: Win32/Adware.Optmedia You can also use the following format when you exclude a detection from the ESET Internet Security alert window: @NAME=Win32/Adware.Optmedia@TYPE=ApplicUnwnt |
