The config dir is infrequently read, so exclusion is moot.
Calibre uses the standard temp folder (which I would NOt exclude from scans:Paranoid hat on)
You could exclude Calibre (app) as the download should have been scanned.
Thanks. I excluded calibre.app in Applications folder from antivirus scan. Didn't exclude the temp or calibre config directories.

I read this old thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=125909. Then successively tested "Max simultaneous conversion/news_download jobs" at 10, 8, 6, 4, and 3 for bulk conversion of the same 15 books from epub to mobi and noticed a small difference in conversion time per book, with quickest time per book at the setting of 6. (With Text Editor and Safari also open.) So I'll set it at 6 for awhile and see what happens.
