[clamav-users] How to get rid of or Fix clamonacc error

[Tim McConnell]

Thanks Micah, 
This is for Home use so that might be like hunting flies with a Nuclear
Warhead. 
For what it's worth, I did get the scan to complete in 15 hours. Okay
well it is a big drive. Now I have a real question: 
Using ClamTK to schedule a scan, How do I exclude a Directory? I've
tried Whitelisting but it doesn't skip the scan for those DIRs. 
The Cron Job email shows the command it's running as: 
/usr/bin/clamscan --exclude-dir=/home/tmick/.clamtk/viruses --exclude-
dir=\/home\/tmick\/Documents\/ACI\ Learning --exclude-
dir=\/home\/tmick\/Nextcloud\/Documents\/ACI\ Learning --exclude-
dir=\/home\/tmick\/Nextcloud --exclude-dir=smb4k --exclude-
dir=/run/user/tmick/gvfs --exclude-dir=/home/tmick/.gvfs --exclude-
dir=.thunderbird --exclude-dir=.mozilla-thunderbird --exclude-
dir=.evolution --exclude-dir=Mail --exclude-dir=kmail -i --detect-pua -
r /home/tmick --log="$HOME/.clamtk/history/$(date +%b-%d-%Y).log"
2>/dev/null # clamtk-scan

So how would I get the directories I want ignored, ignored?
Thanks!
