I develop software and might have several copies of my compiled exe in different folders on my hard drive but with the same name (backups, different versions etc).
When I run one of these exe's BD sees it as a threat, moves it to quarantine, deletes it and marks the folder read only.
I can add the copy of the exe that is in that folder to the advanced threat exclusion list and restore it, but running the same exe from a different folder once again is seen as a threat.
I even copied it to a usb stick and a DVD ready for distribution but upon checking the program still ran from those locations once again the exe was deleted and moved to quarantine.
As a developer I want to stop BD from seeing my application as a threat wherever it is found. In essence I'd like to add an exclusion along the lines of *abc.exe i.e. using a wildcard for the application path instead of having to exclude every folder path individually.
Incidentally the application I'm developing is a database front end so shouldn't be seen as a threat anyway. Kaspersky says it's clean.
