- correct thing to do in most cases. The only exceptions are if an executab
- le file has been renamed to some other file type or if a program uses over
- lay files that have some other file type. Usually, files other than progra
- m files are data files that do not become infected with viruses. Checking
- all files finds viruses, no matter what files they are in, but it takes lo
- nger because more files need to be checked.
