Go to Standard Shield provider settings and add, one by one, the masks above to the Exclusion list (on-access exclusion list):
*.tif
*.mdb
*.jpg
Well, at least, this is how Windows version of avast! works 8)
What would the syntax be? In the exclusions area there are 5 entries for the same exact location. At least it appears to be the same location. The entry is: ?:\PageFile.sys. Is this the syntax I need to use to exclude the file types I need? In example, ?:*.tif. Also, this exclusion list is for areas to exclude. How is it going to help in stopping the standard shield from scanning the file types I need not to be scanned?
There were some changes in the default exclusions recently, so it’s possible that there are some duplicit entries in the list (created during the program updates). You can remove them if they are really the same (and keep only one).
The syntax for the image files is exacly as Tech suggested, e.g. (for example)
*.tif
I guess ?:*.tif would work as well (at least for files stored on local disks), but the first form is more simple.
Thank you everyone for all of your help. Everything seems to be working fine now. Again, thanks.
