"Omitted" column in scan log

I'm looking at a scan log for one of my computers.  One column is for "Omitted".  Are these files omitted because they've been scanned during the day by File-System Auto Protect?  I ask because on this particular computer I've temporarily turned off Auto Protect to troubleshoot performance issues.  With auto protect on the omitted files are over a thousand.  With it off there are only a handful of files omitted but the total number of files scanned doesn't change that much.

Hi

You can disable real time scan from File System Autoprotect, Even then your Schedule Scan or on demand scan should scan all the files. It should not Omitt anything.
