Why does Norton excludes scanning system volume information at all?

Is it not a security risk to leave it excluded from auto protect and manual scanning? Can anyone answer, please?



Why does Norton excludes scanning system volume information at all?firewall



To speed things up. I takes a lot of time to scan compressed files and since once you clean the infection it's always recommended to clear system restore points just in case so you would not restore the virus itself.



The folder itself is used to store information for System Restore and no files in executable format are located in it.



Personally I remove any exclusions and scan all files. I also have System Restore disabled
