is there a way to temporarily ignore exceptions?

jacklhoward

is there a way to temporarily ignore all exceptions during a virus / malware scan, or force the advanced automatic threat detection to pick up potential threats or the online threat detection protection to pick up online threats etc.. I have a large number of folders and applications under exception and it would not be practical to manually delete all of them from exceptions and add them again afterwards.

BTW, is it essential to scan password protected items ? i have like 2000+ of them lining up and i dont know the passwords to some of them. should i just ignore them?

Check if below steps help:

1) Temporarily disable Bitdefender Protection: https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/28557/

2) Set exclusion in Bitdefender Antivirus: https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/13427/

3) Set exclusion in Bitdefender Advanced Threat Defense: https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/2393/

4) Re-enable real time protection in Bitdefender.

Password protected files will not get scanned until you will provide the password, bitdefender will provide you the option to enter the password for them but you can simply ignore if you do not remember the password.
