File types scanned by default

Certain file types are scanned for viruses by default. You can add file types for better protection or remove file types for faster access.

The following table lists the file types scanned by default:

??_ DL? IM? OFT SMM
ARJ DOC INI OLE SWF
ASP DOT JS? OV? SYS
BAT DRV LZH PIF VBS
BIN EML MD? POT VS?
CAB EXE MPP PP? VXD
CDR GMS MPT RAR WBK
CL? GZ? MSG RTF WPD
COM HLP MSO SCR XL?
CSC HT? OCX SHS XML
Note: In this table, the ? character is a wildcard that matches any character or no character. For example, C?? matches C, CL, CPP, C++, and so on.
Attention: To scan all files, you can use ???. However, this might severely degrade performance and is not recommended.

You can also configure Data ONTAP so that file extensions not in the default list are scanned, or only a subset of the default file extensions is scanned.
