How does the file filtering system work?

Unlike an antivirus product, Acunetix WVS does not need to scan certain file types because they cannot be exploited by a hacker, and therefore cannot be considered as vulnerabilities. By ignoring these files, a scan will automatically take less time to complete, and will be more efficient in its test executions. The file filter in the Acunetix settings already contains a multitude of file types (such as .mp3, .avi, .jpg) and also lets you insert any other file types which you would like to ignore.
