Exclude Parameter not working as expected

I'm running the Installed Software report. I'm filtering out software packages I'm not interested in for my purposes. I have added an optional parameter on the Display Name field in the report with an Exclude condition where I list each package I'm not interested in surrounded by astericks, for example, *Microsoft Office*.

When I run the report, I am getting lines with "Microsoft Office" in the results, such as "Microsoft Office 32-bit Components 2013." Another example, I have excluded *KB*, but I get, "Definition Update for Microsoft Office 2013 (KB3115404) 64-Bit edition" in the results. This items should have been filtered out by either exclude value.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Shawn
