File Exclusions

hi all 

since a resent virous outbrake here (thank god for sophos) we have had to setup a scheduled scan on our network currntly running a scan every day. but since then the console is reporting adware on some files that we know are safe. so iv added the folders to the exclusions in the form of \folder name\   

this has been added to anti-virus and hips policy on the main screan (extensions and exclusions) button and in the on access scanning (configure) windows exclusions tab. its still reporting back about the files in the folders after iv told the console.

my understanding is that by adding the folders in the format of   \foldername\   this should mean that sophos should not scan in the folders.

    oh the presents a problem as the folders in qustion dont apper in the same location on the computers in qustion as some are saved under users desktops witch is fine but if that user leaves the company then the folder will be coppied to a difrent desktop.

    so if i cant do folders can i do file names without a path so for example we have one called run.exe thats part of one of our dealer programs.
