Scan methods
« on: November 15, 2005, 06:12:45 AM »
Hey,

How can I set up Avast not to scan a certain folder at any time. For example say I have a game F.E.A.R. and I do not want Avast to scan that folder nor the contents of that folder so that I dont get any lags or slowdowns due to Avast scanning all the files being used. How do I go about doing such a thing? Thanks!!! ;D
