Abstract
A technique allows for the automatic configuration of anti-malware programs so as to prevent such programs from scanning particular domains. Upon automatic detection of a predetermined type of program, a configuration of that program is determined. Based on the configuration of the predetermined type of program, a domain of the predetermined type of program is excluded from a domain of the anti-malware program. Accordingly, the domain of the anti-malware program is ensured not to overlap with that of the predetermined type of program.
