Choosing Exclusion options Many of the files stored on your computer are not vulnerable to virus infection. Scan operations that examine these files can take a long time and produce few results. You can speed up scan operations by telling the VirusScan application to look only at susceptible file types (see "Choosing Detection options" on page 209 for details), or you can tell the application to ignore entire files or folders that you know cannot become infected. Once you scan your system thoroughly, you can exclude the files and folders that do not change or that are not normally vulnerable to virus infection. You can also rely on the VShield scanner to provide you with protection between scheduled scan operations. Regular scan operations that examine all areas of your computer, however, provide you with the best virus defense. To prevent the application from scanning files that do not get infected, you can identify which disks, folders, or individual files you want to exclude from scan operations in an exclusion list. By default, the VirusScan application does not scan the Recycle Bin because Windows will not run items stored there. This item, therefore, will appear in the exclusion list when you first open the window. 220 McAfee VirusScan Anti-Virus Software
