I was just wondering, is there a list somewhere in the digital world that would tell me what exceptions are safe for my anti-virus program. I'm only asking because it may help me do a full scan on my 5 HD's alot quicker.
Some of the extensions I would believe are safe would be .MKV .AVI .MPG .JPG... Does any other GURU'S have any input on this matter? |

Manipulating files to not be scanned would be as easy as renaming the files' extension if you're simply putting a whitelist of file extensions; virus authors would be laughing behind your back. Not to mention there are real trojans on maliciously-generated, real JPG files, which can execute its payload when it's being opened. |

^ same goes for AVI and MPG.
Not sure how popular they are now, but people used to love them for distributing viruses in the past. |
