Remove antivirus exclusions after upgrade to HCO?

I have had antivirus exclusions in place for years, but I am wondering if they can or should be removed after I upgrade from Platform 2020.2.6 to HCO 2022.4.

Thoughts?

The general best practice is that Antivirus Exclusions are no longer needed nor recommended except in EXTREMELY rare circumstances - and only when directed by someone from SolarWinds support (normally as part of troubleshooting a problem). Then after the problem is resolved, the exclusions should be removed.

Kevin is spot on here

Thanks Kevin and Brandon. The last sentence confuses me a little bit. Did you mean to say that the exclusions can be removed after troubleshooting is completed? That would jive with your first sentence.

Yes, I'll clarify the previous comment.
