Choosing Exclusion options
Many of the files stored on your computer are not vulnerable to virus
infection. Having the System Scan module examine these files can take a long
time and produce few results. You can reduce the time the System Scan
module spends looking at each file you modify by restricting it to examining
only susceptible file types. You can also tell the module to ignore entire files or
folders that you know cannot become infected.
The exclusion list identifies which disks, folders, or individual files you want
to exclude from VShield scan sessions. By default, the System Scan module
does not scan the Recycle Bin because Windows will not run items stored
there. This item will appear in the list when you first open the window.
Each entry in the exclusion list displays the path to the item, notes whether the
module will also exclude any nested folders within the target, and explains
whether the application will exclude the item when it scans files, when it scans
your hard disk boot sector, or both.
