You can reduce the time the scanner spends looking at each file you modify by restricting the scanner to examine only susceptible file types. You can also tell the scanner to ignore files or entire folders that you know cannot become infected. The exclusion list identifies which items--disks, folders, or individual files-- you want to exclude from scanning activities. By default, the scanner does not examine files that are in the Recycle Bin because Windows will not run items stored there. This item appears in the exclusions list when you first open the property page. Each entry in the exclusions list displays the path to the item, notes whether the module will also exclude any nested folders, and explains whether the application will exclude the item when it scans files, when it scans your hard disk boot sector, or both.
