I have always done a complete system scan and of course thats the best way to go. But sometimes you just want a quicker scan and norton will allow this. You can go into settings and have it scan only for certain files. Problem for me is that I dont know which to include and which to exclude for a quicker scan.
Here is the complete list that norton provides.
386 ACE ACM ACV ACX ADT APP ASD ASP ASX AVB AX AX? BAT BIN BO? BTM CDR CFM CHM CLA CLASS CMD CNV COM CPL CPT CPY CSC CSH CSS DAT DEV DL? DLL DOC DOT DRV DVB DWG EML EXE FON GMS GVB HLP HTA HTM HTML HTT HTW HTX HXS IM? INF INI JPG JS JS? JSE JTD LGP LIB LNK MB? MDB MHT MHTM MHTL MOD MP? MPD MPP MPT MRC MS?

WSC WSF WSH XL? XML XTP
Of course there are the extensions only and i have left out the "." Could someone help me out and tell me which ones would be wise to include and which to exclude?
I am gonna take a shot at it myself to help me learn a bit. Please let me know what list you would make and I dont mind if you tell me why my list is wrong and such. Hopefully this will be a learning experience for a few of us. I cant be the only dummy out there, lol.
Heres my picks of what i think should be left in on a quick scan:
386 APP BAT BIN CHM COM DAT DL? DLL DOC DRV EXE HTM HTML INF INI JS JS? LNK OBJ OLE SYS VSD VXD XML. Also, one could include MS and WPD for the word processors?
Thanks in advance.
