“It is strongly recommended that you prevent the scanning of the Intraday data chart files with a file extension of scid by anti-malware software on your system. Many systems run Microsoft Security Essentials and it needs to be set to prevent the scanning of these scid files. If this step is not performed, anti-malware programs will have a significant impact upon the performance of Sierra Chart.”

Anybody have a step-by-step on how to set this to “prevent” for Windows 10 Pro?

Thank you.

You can find this on any serach engine within 5 seconds, but here is a link to instructions anyways.

That brings me to 4 options. File - folder- file type- or, process?

Can somebody give me a step-by-step instruction to the end like I’m a 3 year old? Otherwise, How Should I Know???

Thanks
