    Hi,

    in SEPM Console goto policies and edit the centralized exceptions policy

    click on Add-->windows exceptions-->security risk exceptions-->extensions

    add the file extensions to be excluded from scanning here.

    Thanks and Regards

    Hello,

    Follow the instructions below to make the type of exception required.

    Creating exceptions for Antivirus and Antispyware scans

    Note: Security Risk Exceptions are global, and apply to all Scheduled Scans as well as real-time Auto-Protect.

      1. Log into the SEPM and click Policies.
      2. Under View Policies click Centralized Exceptions.
      3. Under Tasks click Add a Centralized Exception policy... This will create and open a new Centralized Exceptions Policy.
      4. In the left pane, click Centralized Exceptions.
      5. Click the Add button to open a drop-down menu. Move the cursor over Security Risk Exceptions to open a second drop-down menu.
      6. Select one of the four options: Known Risks, File, Folder, Extensions.

        Note: Wildcard variables such as * and ? are not supported for Known RisksFile, or Folder exceptions. The ? wildcard is supported for Extension exceptions. The Folder exceptions screen will accept * and ? but they will be treated as literal characters not wildcard variables.

        Note: For File and Folder-based exclusions, the Full Path to the file must be specified, unless a "Prefix Variable" is selected. If a "Prefix Variable" is selected, the path specified should be relative to the selected "Prefix Variable" 

        Note: if you are unsure about what type of exception to make please see the chapter entitled "Configuring Centralized Exceptions Policies" in the pdf "Administration Guide for Symantec™ Endpoint Protection and Symantec Network Access Control".
      7. Enter the appropriate information for the known risk, file, folder, or extension to be excluded.
      8. (Optional) Repeat steps 5 through 7 to add any other Security Risk Exceptions to the policy.
      9. (Optional) Follow the appropriate steps under "Creating exceptions for TruScan proactive threat scans" or "Creating exceptions for Tamper Protection scans" to add those types of exceptions to this policy.
      10. Click OK.

    Hope that helps!!
