You can write and remove exclusions from a batch file with reg.exe. I’ve provided an example here:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/mse-protect\_scanning/set-exclusions-using-command-line/f8df9baa-584d-49b2-9d7c-3fb5798e1ebf

I’m sure that this can also be done programmatically, but distributing a program that creates an exclusion for itself (or that writes to any registry key owned by a security program) is something that I would consider totally unacceptable.
