Whitelisting

[cx166]

Why Spybot whitelists all possible files (pics, videos, irc logs, etc) not just programs?

Hello cx166,

Programs have files.

"When you first install Spybot +AV you will have the option to create a whitelist. This is a list of programs that are known to be safe. This will speed up the scanning process as these files will not be scanned in the future unless they have been altered in some way."
