Mail scan mode in the Scan task can be regulated by changing either the scan area of the task or the task settings Parse mail formats.
In order to disable mail scan in the Scan task uncheck Mail databases in the scan area. If this scan area is checked it means all mail databases of Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express, which corresponded to your account are scanned – these databases are defined in the system registry when the mail client is configured.
It should be noted that the area Mail databases belongs to the scan area My Computer. That is why if you select My Computer as a scan area, the area Mail databases should be unchecked, whereas other scan areas may remain checked/activated and thus included in the scan area.
My Computer area includes:
Mail databases
System memory
Startup objects
Diskboot sectors
All removable drives
All hard drives
