can avira be set to not scan usb when inserted

i tend to use a usb drive for keeping my malicious files FOR TESTING on and one annoying thing so far about avira is everytime i plug it in it starts scanning and deleting the files off the drive. i maybe am missing it but is there a way to exclude it from scanning inserted media unless i want it to kind of like what eset does??

this is the one really annoying thing i am finding as i also have some no cd game patches that its doing the same thing with ...

thanks

 

Have you tried Exceptions?

 

hmm didnt know i could exclude the whole drive i though just files or folders, does that work??

 

I don't know, you'll have to give it a try; just a sugestion (personally, that situation never aroused).

Please post feedback.

 

That is probably a normal response though.

 

Sorry, I don't understand your post.

 

Just disable "autoruns" and your all set.

 

Read carefully the OP's post.

 

Been there done that. But most av scanners read via autoruns. If autoruns is disabled and you place a no autorun file on your USB stick using BitDefender USB Immunizer then Avira will not scan it. Every USB stick should be immunized to begin with. All 4 of mine are.

 

I'm waiting for zfactor's experience.
In fact, I'm quite curious about it.
