 This article provides information on how to define antivirus and global exclusions for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Antivirus exclusions apply to on-demand scans, real-time protection (RTP), and behavior monitoring (BM). Global exclusions apply to real-time protection (RTP), behavior monitoring (BM), and endpoint detection and response (EDR), thus stopping all the associated antivirus detections, EDR alerts, and visibility for the excluded item.
 
 > [!IMPORTANT]
-> The antivirus exclusions described in this article apply to only antivirus capabilities and not to endpoint detection and response (EDR). Files that you exclude using the antivirus exclusions described in this article can still trigger EDR alerts and other detections. Global exclusions described in this section apply to antivirus **and** endpoint detection and response capabilities, thus stopping all associated antivirus protection, EDR alerts, and detections. Global exclusions are currently in public preview, and are available in Defender for Endpoint version `101.23092.0012` or later, in the Insiders Slow and Production rings. For EDR exclusions, [contact support](/microsoft-365/admin/get-help-support).
