About Scan all file types and SmartScan
You can configure Symantec AntiVirus to scan all file types or to use SmartScan.
SmartScan scans a specific, configurable group of file extensions that contain
executable code and all .exe and .doc files. SmartScan reads each file's header to
determine its file type. It scans .exe and .doc files even if the file extensions for
the .exe and .doc files are changed by a virus to extensions that are different
from the file extensions that SmartScan has been configured to scan. SmartScan
is enabled by default.
