NIS 2017- How to Whitelist... a program?

Norton Security | Norton Internet Security
1

I have 2 large/complex... programs that I would like NIS to "Fully" Trust (don't slow processing...)-

1. Macrium Reflect (system backup)

2. CCleaner (system tune-up...).

My  old IS had an option to easily do this, but I  couldn't find anything  in the NIS PDF?

Please provide a procedure, or...

Scott :o)

Thank you for the procedure! It worked Good on CCleaner/ Macrium

1. When I also tried to add Defraggler Disk Defrag free folder (did Not replace WDD (set to Manual))- The box was Grey?  Is this a problem (I have previously done a full negative scan).  -Do I need to Apply/OK after Every Change?

2. After making NIS settings... changes/closing, about 30min later a pop-up box will flash in the lower right corner. Then the next day I won't see a background updating pop-up until  After I have restarted my other computer 3-times?     a. Is there a setting to Trust... another computer on the same router, or...?

  • Browse for and select the folders or files that you want to exclude from the scan, and then click OK. 
  • Click Apply, and then click OK.

I've not had to exclude programs for performance "(don't slow processing...)-."
for example, I'll run Macrium with machine quiet.

So, Lets hear from Community
