How do Special Folders on the FSM Panel work?
All files and subfolders in a folder which has been added to this list will NOT be monitored by the FSM and therefore all kind of files – including potentially dangerous ones – may be written into them. (Partition ‘C:\’ (and all other rootfolders) and ‘C:\Windows’ are NOT permitted, because in most of the cases the Windows Operating System resides on this partition and most of the malware tries to copy and install themselves on that partition and the ‘Windows’ folder, respectively.) Examples: 1.) It’s recommended to specify the ‘Downloads’ folder as a ‘Special Folder’ where any files, including potentially dangerous ones (eg programs) can be downloaded (written). 2.) In case you are a program developer you can specify the main folder in which your potentially dangerous files are generated as a ‘Special Folder’.
