Antivirus Exceptions for MedicalDirector Software

A list of folders and files to be added as exceptions.

Tip:
This list uses MedicalDirector's default installation locations. These may differ for your system if you have used customised installation locations. Consult your System Administrator if you require assistance.

Whenever a path is referred to, remember to add one of the following prefixes, depending on the Operating System you use.

  • For 32- Bit Operating Systems, use C:\Program Files\
  • For 64-Bit Operating Systems, use C:\Program Files (x86)\

These paths are displayed below with the prefix ~. For example, if you see the path: ~Health Communication Network\Medical Director\, and your Operating System is 64-bit, you would use the full path of C:\Program Files (x86)\Health Communication Network\Medical Director\.
