Can a excluded file be scanned in VSE?
In VSE, an excluded file or a file residing in an excluded folder will not be scanned. To determine whether a file is excluded, the MCSHIELD.EXE process receives information about the file from the McAfee AV filter driver.
What happens when a file is excluded from McAfee?
After McShield has determined the file to be excluded, the McAfee AV filter driver is informed and the filter driver records the file name (including the path). It makes sure that McShield does not process the same file again unless the file is modified.
How are exclusions processed in VirusScan Enterprise Exe?
ALL exclusions are processed by McShield.exe. McShield does all the scanning but it also does all the exclusions. McShield has a timeout mechanism. In the above example McShield timed out on nHTTP.EXE in trying to determine whether to exclude the file or not. The log file does not indicate that the excluded file is actually being scanned.
