16.3.2. Managing removable media scan
To manage automatic scan of removable media, follow these steps:
1. Open the Bitdefender window.
2. Click the Settings button on the upper toolbar.
3. In the Settings Overview window, select Antivirus.
4. In the Antivirus Settings window, select the Exclusions tab.
For best protection, it is recommended to turn on automatic scan for all types of
removable storage devices.
The scanning options are pre-configured for the best detection results. If infected
files are detected, Bitdefender will try to disinfect them (remove the malware code)
or to move them to quarantine. If both actions fail, the Antivirus Scan wizard will
allow you to specify other actions to be taken on infected files. The scanning options
are standard and you cannot change them.
16.4. Configuring scan exclusions
Bitdefender allows excluding specific files, folders or file extensions from scanning.
This feature is intended to avoid interference with your work and it can also help
improve system performance. Exclusions are to be used by users having advanced
computer knowledge or, otherwise, following the recommendations of a Bitdefender
representative.
You can configure exclusions to apply to on-access or on-demand scanning only, or
to both. The objects excluded from on-access scanning will not be scanned, no
matter if they are accessed by you or by an application.
Note
Exclusions will NOT apply for contextual scanning. Contextual scanning is a type of
on-demand scanning: you right-click the file or folder you want to scan and select
Scan with Bitdefender.
