Files that are not scanned

Hey,

In the “protection-shield-opties” there is a small list of files that Avast does not scan => e.g. config.sys, msdos.sys, …ect

Why are these not scanned? What IF there is a virus that actually harms these files? ??? - Something i just wanted to know :slight_smile:

Oh, if i remove them, so Avast scans all files,…when i update the program, after reboot the files are back in that list. …just wpndering

Don’t worry, these files cannot be infected by a virus.
Some of those files may cause conflicts (= problems to your operating system) when scanned by avast! (with specific settings of the Standard Shield).
