Application files (EXE) are getting scanned

[murali]

Hi,

this Murali from chennai.
In Escan V10.0.962.356 all EXE files are getting scanned. On this process some of the system is getting hanged.
Ex: I'm having all my softwares in a DVD it's all exe files, when i try to install a program from my DVD after installing ESCAN it will take atleast 10Mins to read the DVD. Beacuse it was scanning all the EXE files in the DVD.

Please tell me how to get rid of this simple issue.........


thanks & regards
Muralidharan

I would try (sorry for possibly bad translation, since I'm running a german version) going into the settings of file protection and unmarking the dvd-drive in the list of objects to be scanned. I'm not sure if this will work, but it seems to be a sensible appoach.

Manual scans of the dvd-drive should still be possible with this setting.

Hi Kuron,

Thanks for your suggestion it worked for me, but commonly if you have any exe files in your hard drive it was getting scanned. How you will get rid of this problem.....

Hi Murali,

unfortunately I have no other idea than deactivating all possible drives, which woul mean you wouldn't need to install any anti-virus-software...

Except for maybe the exclusion list for filetypes - but that again would mean that no .exe-files willever be scanned, except for in a manual virusscan.

I fear that this issue needs a statement by MicroWorld.

Best of luck and best regards!

P.S.: I too am not really happy that vc- and pro-edition have been cancelled. I found them better than the AV

For safety reasons we have designed to software to scan all application files be it .exe or .com files as it might carry virus. But if you think i take a lot of time to read the DVD drive

You could untick scanning of Cd/DVD drive in the File Anti-virus settings section.

Hi mln,

I accept that your AV has the safety designs for EXE files. As you said unmarking the scanning DVD drives got effect. But what about the EXE's files placed in the Hard Drives. I don't say that you have to get rid of scanning the EXE files but there should be some rapid scan for these files.
Because if you have so many application files in your HDD the system seems to be get hang for some time.
