Choosing what not to scan (Excludes) (Spybot - Search & Destroy)

Spybot

 
Choosing what not to scan Settings

Right now, there are five different Ignore sections:

Ignore products

This section lists all products defined internally and in the external include files. If you want to exclude a complete product, or include it again, select the file from this section and toggle the checkbox in front of the product name.

Ignore Cookies

Cookies are usage tracks, but you may want to keep some useful cookies. This section lists all cookies currently on your system, allowing you to exclude them from further searches.

Ignore file extensions

This concerns the common Windows file opening dialog. It saves lists of opened (and saved) files broken down by their extensions. If you do not want to remove the WinWord files, for example, you could select .doc to be excluded in this section.

Ignore single entries

If you do not want to exclude a complete product, but only a single file orregistry setting of it, you can select that one from the results list. Theseare listed here, where you may remove them from the exclude list again.

Ignore system internals

If you have got system internals results on the list, you can remove them from the Ignore list here.

All the lists in these sections have a context menu with extended selection options.

You will find these options by choosing one of the four Ignore features from the Settings section in the toolbar to the left.
