I am running N360 and want to know if there is a way to disable the automatic scan of an external HD that is connected via USB?
Hi,
yes, there's a way to do it, but with this every removable media you use (eg. USB-keys) will not be scanned as well:
1. Open 360
2. Click on Settings
3. Go to Antivirus settings
4. On the firs tab under Real Time Protection you can see the option Removable Media Scan
5. Turn that feature off
6. Save settings
An other way can be to add the drive to the scan exclusions (both Auto-Protect and SONAR).
Let us know the results.
Thanks..........I have made the changes and will wait and see if it removed the external HD next time a scan kicks in. Removing it will not present a problem since I only use the external HD for backup and have no other USB media attached.
