| Dear friends:
|
| Most of the Antivirus products, when they do an on demand scan, they
| check only the files with predefined extensions which are contained in
| a "default list".
|
| Is there a "consent" of the default list of the predefined file
| extensions that they should be checked in an on demand scan?
|
| Where can I get a copy of this "commonly accepted default list" in
| order to compare it with the list of my Antivirus product?
|
| Thanks

The following is McAfee's default list...

Plus files with no extensions.
Those with the "?" are wildcards and means any char in that place.
For the *best* capability of detection, an "On Demand" scan should include ALL file types.
