If you want to specify several masks, each mask must be specified on a new line with a new index (ExcludeMasks.item_0000, ExcludeMasks.item_0001).

The default value is not defined.

The [ScanScope.item_#] section contains the monitoring scopes of the System Integrity Monitoring task. At least one monitoring scope must be specified for the task. You can define several [ScanScope.item_#] sections in any order in the configuration file. The application will process the scopes by index in ascending order.

Each [ScanScope.item_#] section contains the following settings:

AreaDesc

Specifies the name of the monitoring scope.

The default value is not defined.

The format of the [ExcludedFromScanScope.item_#] section is similar to the format of the [ScanScope.item_#] section. You can define several [ExcludedFromScanScope.item_#] sections in any order in the configuration file. The application will process the scopes by index in ascending order.
