In the Files scanned by the Resident Shield dialog it is possible to configure which files will be
scanned (by specific extensions):
Mark the respective checkbox to decide whether you want to Scan all files or Scan infectable files
and selected types of documents only. If you have chosen the latter option, you can further specify
a list of extensions defining files that should be excluded from scanning, and also a list of file
extensions defining files that must be scanned under all circumstances.
Check the Always scan files without extensions (on by default) to ensure that even files with no
extension and unknown format should be scanned by the Resident Shield. We recommend that you
keep this feature switched on, as files without extensions are suspicious.
The section below called The Resident Shield will scan further summarizes the current settings,
displaying a detailed overview of what the Resident Shield will actually scan.
