Exclude should actually exclude! [Fixed in 3.10]

OK, 3.9 is now out and excluded files are still scanned...

Please add an actual exclusion function to CIS. Ignore is just a waste of resources.

I'm not even a heavy user of the AV in CIS but I also still agree it should exclude from scanning.

Well the real time scanner from my tests does exclude in 3.9 but the On Demand does not it just ignores. but then again i dont tend to do scans or even exclude stuff.

I'm curious how you are testing this. Is there some indicator in CIS when a file is being scanned in real time? And was perhaps the exclusion you noted during the real time scan a function of stateful scanning?

Because if the real time scanner is indeed excluding, then it would appear that the functionality is already built in to the scanning engine and the on demand utilization of the feature is simply broken. In which case this would be a bug and not a wish...

Egeman? I know you developers loathe to answer questions like this, but could you please speak up on whether or not the list is functioning as intended? Any hope of actual exclusion in the future?

Well i toke a zip file that has about 350 malware that is detected by CIS and exculuded it then using 7 zip i extracted the file and at the same time watched in Task manager for Real and Virtual memory and CPU usage NO change. cmdagent was using NO CPU when i was extracting the malware

However i will also try with real time set to on Access
Edit:
Tryed with ON access, same result memory did not grow and when i was extracting all the files cmdagent.exe did not use any CPU.

Interesting...

Hopefully Egeman or another developer will jump in and give us some info.

Perhaps this bug interfered with OmeletGuy's experiment:
https://forums.comodo.com/anti_virus_bugs/do_not_scan_larger_than_setting_ignored_v3995478509_x32-t40012.0.html

"Total objects scanned" in the manual scanner display indicates if a file is not scanned at all.

On my PC, which has a solid-state disc, files < 20MB scan so quickly with CIS that I don't see a CPU spike.

And now exclusion actually works with 3.10! Thanks devs!
