16.4.2. Excluding file extensions from scanning
When you exclude a file extension from scanning, Bitdefender will no longer scan
files with that extension, regardless of their location on your computer. The exclusion
also applies to files on removable media, such as CDs, DVDs, USB storage devices
or network drives.
Important
Use caution when excluding extensions from scanning because such exclusions can
make your computer vulnerable to malware.
To exclude file extensions from scanning, 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.
5. Turn on scan exclusions for files using the corresponding switch.
6. Click the Excluded extensions link. In the window that appears, you can manage
the file extensions excluded from scanning.
7. Add exclusions by following these steps:
a. Click the Add button, located at the top of the exclusions table.
b. Enter the extensions that you want to be excluded from scanning, separating
them with semicolons (;). Here is an example:
txt;avi;jpg
c. By default, all files with the specified extensions are excluded from both
on-access and on-demand scanning. To change when to apply the exclusion,
select one of the other options.
d. Click Add.
8. Click OK to save the changes and close the window.
16.4.3. Managing scan exclusions
If the configured scan exclusions are no longer needed, it is recommended that you
delete them or disable scan exclusions.
To manage scan exclusions, 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.
