Avira Free Antivirus - User Manual (Status: 16 Dec. 2013) 119

All files

If this option is enabled, all files are scanned for viruses or unwanted programs,

irrespective of their content and file extension. The filter is not used.

Note

If All files is enabled, the button File extensions cannot be selected.

Use smart extensions

If this option is enabled, the selection of the files scanned for viruses or unwanted

programs is automatically chosen by the program. This means that your Avira program

decides whether the files are scanned or not based on their content. This procedure is

somewhat slower than Use file extension list, but more secure, since not only on the

basis of the file extension is scanned. This option is enabled as the default setting and

is recommended.

Note

If Use smart extensions is enabled, the button File extensions cannot be

selected.

Use file extension list

If this option is enabled, only files with a specified extension are scanned. All file types

that may contain viruses and unwanted programs are preset. The list can be edited

manually via the button "File extension".

Note

If this option is enabled and you have deleted all entries from the list with file

extensions, this is indicated with the text "No file extensions" under the button

File extensions.

File extensions

With the aid of this button, a dialog box is opened in which all file extensions are

displayed that are scanned in "Use file extension list" mode. Default entries are set

for the extensions, but entries can be added or deleted.

Note

Please note that the default list may vary from version to version.
