File types for scanning - you should also decide whether you want to scan:
All file types with the option of defining exceptions from scanning by providing a list of
comma separated file extensions that should not be scanned;
comma separated file extensions that should not be scanned;
Selected file types - you can specify that you want to scan only files that can be infected
(files that cannot get infected will not be scanned, for instance some plain text files, or
some other non-executable files), including media files (video, audio files - if you leave this
box uncheck ed, it will reduce the scanning time even more, because these files are often
quite large and are not lik ely to be infected by a virus). Again, you can specify by
extensions which files should always be scanned.

Optionally, you can decide to Scan files without extension - this option is on by default,

Adjust how quickly scan completes - you can use the slider to change the scanning process
priority. By default, this option value is set to the user sensitive level of automatic resource usage.
Alternatively, you can run the scanning process slower which means the system resources load will
be minimized (useful when you need to work on the computer but you do not care so much how long
the scanning tak es), or faster with increased system resources requirements (e.g. when the
computer is temporarily unattended).
