Page topMasks in paths to files and folders
You can use the tilde symbol (~) when you specify the protection scope, scan scope, and Trusted Zone.
The ~ symbol in the path to a file or folder replaces /Users/<user name>. For example, the path ~/Desktop means that the protection scope includes Desktop folders of all users on computers that you want to protect.
