AUTO LOCKSMITHS Step 3: Add folder to Windows Security Exclusion List You will need to exclude the installed Xhorse files, as once your antivirus software is reactivated it will scan your computer regularly for viruses. The antivirus software will often identify your Xhorse files as a virus, so to avoid the software being corrupted you need to add them to your antivirus exclusion list. Go back to the ‘Windows Security’ panel then ‘Virus & threat protections’. Scroll down to Exclusions and click ‘Add or remove exclusions’. This will take you to a new menu called ‘Exclusions’ ‘some antivirus software catagorises Xhorse as malware and can prevent you from downloading, installing and can even corrupt the software’ with a button shaped like a plus sign which says ‘Add an exclusion’. Click this and select ‘Folder’ from the dropdown menu, then simply navigate to your extracted or installed Xhorse softwares’ folder and click ‘select folder’. This is not the folder where you downloaded the file but the folder where the file will run from on your device. Once again if you have another antivirus software you will need to add the folder containing your Xhorse software to its exclusion list. • Avast • ESET • AVG • Kaspersky • McAfee • Norton Step 4: Reactivate ‘Realtime protection’ Now navigate back to Virus and threat protection and switch ‘Real-time protection’ back on to prevent any threats from Malware. Your Xhorse software will now be ready to use and protected from your antivirus software. www.3dgroupuk.com 3 4 JUL/AUG 2020 75 Magazine Sponsor Issue Takeover locksmithjournal.co.uk
