the
Scan files
field specify the files you wish to be scanned:
•
All files
– all files (the default value).
•
Files infectable by extension

wildcards. Edit the list of files that will appear on the right.
Remove the unnecessary files and add the desired ones.
You can specify file masks separating them by spaces, e.g.:
*.exe *.com
.
Any wildcards allowable in MS-DOS file names can be used (for example,
*.* means that files with all extensions will be scanned).
•
All infectable files
– scan all the files that can potentially be
infected.

the
Excluded files
box and enter the desired file masks in the text
field on the right.
You can specify file masks separating them by spaces, e.g.:
*.tmp *.txt
.
