Select What to Scan
Specify files and directories that you want to scan for malware.
In the I want to... page in the web user interface, click Modify advanced settings... to view
and configure advanced virus scanning settings.
1. Specify Files and directories excluded from scanning to define files and directories which
are excluded from the virus scan. Type each directory on a new line, only one directory per
line.
If scanning a certain directory takes a long time and you know that no user can create or
copy an infected file in it, or you get false alarms during the scan, you can exclude the directory
from the virus scan.
Tip: The list can also contain files if you want to exclude specific files from the scan.
2. If you do not want to scan any other files for viruses except executables, turn Scan only
executables on. Clear the check box to scan all specified files for viruses.
