How to scan only certain folders

nodis

Apologies for what may be a dumb question, but I've searched through he FAQs and this forum and can't find the answer.

My question: it's obvious how to exclude certain folders from on-access scanning, but how do I flip that on its head and INCLUDE only certain folders and NOT scan the rest?

Specifically, I would like to run on-access scanning ONLY on my Apple Mail directory (~/Library/Mail), Desktop (~/Desktop), and downloads folder (~/Downloads).  I want to NOT scan everything else.

How do I do that?  Thanks in advance.

    As a P.S., I'd also like to scan all local volmes other than my boot volume (i.e., thumb drives).

    It'd be great to be able to create an on-access scan list like the following (read from the top down):

    Include:

    /Volumes

    Exclude:

    /Volumes/NameOfMyBootVolume

    Include:

    ~/Desktop

    ~/Downloads

    ~/Library/Mail
