Any list of recommended set of anti-virus exclusions?
I am running WebStorm 2017.2.4 on macOS 10.12.6 and unfortunately I have McAfee Endpoint Security for Mac (10.2.3) running. McAfee agent/services would drive CPU utilization to crazy high number when I am running nodejs servers on WebStorm. Is there a recommended set of anti-virus exclusions that I could add to McAfee for preventing this crazy utilization?

You should normally exclude WebStorm installation folder (and subfolders), WebStorm configuration, caches, log and plugins folders (see https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544519-Directories-used-by-the-IDE-to-store-settings-caches-plugins-and-logs) and project directory.
I'm not, however, sure what files to exclude to avoid issues when running your Node.js code, as I'm not aware of your application structure - you should know better what files/folders are involved. WebStorm just runs the specified Node.js interpreter, passing specified js file and options to it
