Antivirus Exceptions for MedicalDirector Software

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

Tip:

This list uses MedicalDirector's default installation locations. These might differ from your system if you have used customised installation locations. Consult your system administrator if you require assistance.

Whenever a path is referred to, add the prefixes for 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 C:\Program Files (x86)\Health Communication Network\Medical Director\.
