Scan All Files Vs Scan Program Files Only ?

Hi,


I have noticed that my PC becomes more responsive and faster if I select the "Scan Program files only" option.


I usually am very conscious and cautious on my web browsing habits which means that I do not visit dangerous sites and mostly I do not download free music or videos, so the question is: is it safe to select this option vs the "Scan all files" one?


Thanks for any comments :rolleyes:

    If you say you don't visit harnful sites and you work in a safe environment, it is safe to chose the "scan only program files". Selecting this action will make BD Real time shield to scan only programs: .exe files, .dll files, .com files etc. This will make your computer work faster, but with slightly reduced security. ;)
