UGN Security Forums UGN Security: Underground General Can you stop Norton from scanning a folder?

I have Norton anti-virus professional edi. and it is up to date but when ever I unzip a keylogger or silk rope etc. it auto deletes the exicutable.
I have put all of these files in a folder. I was wondering if it is possible to make the folder 'invincible' from scans from norton?

Or should I just burn the servers and other exicutables to a disk?

Yes, there is a location for creating exceptions.

Try this link, googled it in about 4.35 seconds

Thanks, that will do the trick.

It really depends on what antivirus you're using. For example, I'm running an older version of N.A. Corporate Ed. I open it up, go to configure, click the Real-Time File Protection subtree, and look for a button that says Exclude Files and Folders. You're probably using something else, but it shouldn't be to hard to figure out. Just dick around with the program for a little bit and you'll get it.
