Scanner - Scan Options
The Scanner settings will affect the scanning during manual scans. Scanner primarily contains the following options:
What items to scan?
You can specify which files to scan by specifying their extensions. By default, Quick Heal Total Security scans for the executable
extensions. Scanning executable files is adequate in most of the situations as viruses only infect and spread from these types of
files.
Executable Files
It covers the most common executable extensions. Quick Heal Total
Security looks at the file and finds if it contains executable code or not and
scans only the files having executable codes.
All files
It scans for all the files irrespective of whether it contains executable code
or not. This reduces the scanning speed and hence is recommended only
after a virus attack is discovered.
User Specified
Extensions
This choice allows you to specify extensions of the files to be scanned. On
selecting this option you can enter the executable file extensions of your
choice. From the next scan, the scanner will scan all the files with these
extensions.
