Antivirus Software

Antivirus exclusions should be configured in any system where antivirus scanning is installed. The guidelines below are provided to assist with ensuring the reliability and performance of your inContact WFO system, while still providing for a secure environment. A lack of exclusions can cause system performance issues and possibly contribute to service outages.

These guidelines apply to both memory resident and on-demand scanning.

General Considerations

These exclusion guidelines are product-specific. For applications not specifically listed, it is often necessary to determine exclusions on a case-by-case basis. This section provides guidance in this area.

Files should typically be excluded based on the following criteria:

  • Locked Files — The files are permanently locked open by a legitimate server process. Examples of these are databases such as DHCP and SQL Server, as well as files such as the Windows Pagefile.
  • Large Files — The files are manipulated often by a legitimate server process and are typically large in size. Examples of these are copying CD/DVD images (.iso) and Virtual Machine Files (.vhd). In addition, operations may include offline maintenance on Virtual Machine Files and Exchange Server databases.
  • Temporary Files — A large number of temporary files are written to disk by a legitimate server process.

Exclusion Guidelines

The following should be excluded from anti-virus scanning on the PREMISE Server:

  • The cc_screencapserver.exe process
  • Files with the *.vid extension
  • The default folder associated with inContact Screen Recording, C:\temp\
  • The cc_loggerservice.exe process
  • Files with the *.log extension
  • The default folder associated with inContact WFO logging, C:\Program Files\CallCopy\Logs\
