Whitelist "Commandline scanner" HKCU not working

[securiv 0]

Hello,

I am trying to add a registry key to the whitelist of the commandline scanner.

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\pdfforge]

 

I use the following command

 

a2cmd.exe /quick /d /log="C:\EMI\EMISOFT.log" /wl="C:\EMI\a2whitelist.txt"
 

Below the result of the scanner

 

Emsisoft Commandline Scanner - Version 12.0

What format should the file a2whitelist.txt ?

 

Thanks a lot for your help

Generally the whitelist is used for excluding files from the scan, and each file should be on a different line. I'm fairly certain that the whitelist doesn't support registry keys, however I will ask to be certain.
