Setup: Antivirus Exclusions

SMART Migration handles multiple concurrent API calls and parallel data streams across multiple API versions and platforms. To do this, the work is split across several separate executable modules. Each module runs as its own process, which keeps workloads isolated and lets them run side by side.

IMPORTANT: Exclude these executables from virus scanning and similar real-time inspection (for example endpoint protection and EDR tools). Real-time scanning of high-volume, parallel file and network activity can significantly reduce migration throughput and may cause timeouts or interrupted transfers.

Verified: all executables are digitally signed with a DigiCert code-signing certificate, so you can verify their authenticity and integrity before adding the exclusions.
