I have an executable that needs to be added to the ESET exclusion policy. This executable can be located in multiple paths. For example:
C:\Program\custom.exe
D:\Program Files\Program\custom.exe
E:\Program Files\ProgramB\custom.exe
Rather than create a separate line item for each install path that may exist in the environment, I would like to create a wildcard exclusion if possible. I have a tried a few different formats, but none of them seem to have the desired effect. I test by pushing the policy, confirming the new exclusion item exists on the client, and then right click the file and scan. If ESET scans the file (1 file scanned), I know the policy did not work. If I put an explicit exclusion on the server (ie c:\program\custom.exe) and manually scan it, ESET will return "0 files scanned" confirming the exclusion.
How can I add an exclusion for a specific filename, not matter the path?
