Adding Manual Scan file types
Define your own file types to scan for high-risk files that are not included in the recommended file list. This increases the scanning speed because you don't scan all file types. However, when you select this option, PC-cillin will only scan for selected file types during a Manual Scan.
To add a file type, you simply provide the file type or extension (three letter "suffix" that identifies the type of file) that you want PC-cillin to examine. Examples of file types or extensions include: annual report.doc, 4th quarter sales.xls, win.com, calculator.exe. You can add compressed file types to the list of those scanned or remove unnecessary file types.
To add a Manual Scan file type:
On the PC-cillin window, click Settings. The Settings window appears.
On the Settings menu, click the Virus Scan link. The menu expands.
Click the Manual Scan link. The Manual Scan screen appears.
Under Scan file types click Selected Files. The button caption becomes Select File Types.
Click Select File Types. The File Types dialog box appears.
Click Add. The Add File Type(s) dialog box appears.
In the Extension box, type your file extension. You can just type the letters of your file type, it is unncessary to include a "." before the file type or to type in upper-case.
Click OK. You can also do the following:
To delete a file type, select it and click Delete. The file type is removed from the list.
To add compressed file types (ARJ, CAB, CO_, DO_, EX_, LZH, XL_ and ZIP), click Compressed. The compressed file types are added to the list.
To restore a list of the default file types, click Default. The original default file types are added to the list.
Click OK.
Click Apply.
