Selected file types
- you can specify that you want to scan only files that
are possibly infectable (
files that cannot get infected will not be scanned, for
instance some plain text files, or some other non-executable files
), including
media files (
video, audio files - if you leave this box unchecked, it will reduce
the scanning time even more, because these files are often quite large and
are not too likely to be infected by a virus
). Again, you can specify by
extensions which files are those that should always be scanned.
·
Optionally, you can decide you want to
Scan files without extension
- this
option is on by default, and it is recommended that you keep it so unless you
have a real reason to change it. Files with no extension are rather suspicious
and should be scanned at all times.
Adjust how quickly Scan completes
Within the
Adjust how quickly scan completes
section you can further specify the
desired scanning speed dependent on system resource usage. By default, this option
value is set to
User sensitive
level, which means that minimum resources are used
while you work with your PC, and the scan runs in the high priority mode while you are
away.
If you want the scanning to run faster, it will take less time but system resources
usage will increase significantly during the scan, and will slow down your other
activities on the PC (
this option can be used when your computer is switched on but
nobody is currently working on it
). On the other hand, you can decrease system
resources usage by extending the scanning duration.

9.7.2. Shell Extension Scan
Similar to the previous

item, this item named
Shell extension
scan
also offers several options for editing the scan predefined by the software
vendor. This time the configuration is related to
scanning of specific objects launched
directly from the Windows Explorer
environment (
shell extension
), see chapter
