# Antivirus Exclusions On the 2PXE Server, it is recommended that antivirus real-time-scanning exclusions be put in place to not interrupt the handling of files and operations. Exclusions should be made by excluding both specific folder locations which store service executables and database files **and** by excluding specific processes. **Process to Exclude :**\ 2Pint.2pxe.Service **Folder to Exclude for the 2PXE Program Files:**\ \\2Pint Software\2PXE\ **Folder to Exclude for ProgramData:**\ C:\ProgramData\2Pint Software\2PXE --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
