Although it is generally not recommended, you may want to exclude certain files, folders, or websites from being scanned by AVG AntiVirus. This can speed up your scans and prevent false-positive detections.
For information about exclusions in AVG AntiVirus for Windows, refer to the following article: Excluding certain files or websites from scanning in AVG AntiVirus
Set exclusions
Set exceptions only if you know that the files and websites you want to exclude are safe. If you are unsure about a file, you can scan it in Virus Total, or add the file to Quarantine and submit it to AVG Threat Labs.
