Hi Ronald, I have had no experience with Avast, AVG is a different product.
However your example looks like it probably does what you want. Without having experience with the product I would suggest that the only sure way to find out is to run the scan twice, once without the exclusion, and once with, and see if the directory is actually scanned or not. This might be logged somewhere, or you might have to watch the screen run. I know it's a drag but you should only have to check once. If you do exclude any files from frequent scans, you should probably run an exhaustive scan once a week or so just to be safe.

I would appreciate hearing if this Avast EXCLUSION SETTING is sufficient to prevent scanning of "ALL OF THE FOLDERS IN AMIBROKER", including all of the Yahoo data?

It lets you scan only certain files. Selection done on file type where "not extension" is a file type too. Z Need a Holiday? Win a $10,000 Holiday of your choice.
