If a remote machine or an application tries to encrypt a shared folder, Kaspersky Anti-Ransomware Tool for Home will block the connection of the remote machine to the shared folder or block the app. You can move the remote machines and apps that have been automatically blocked by Kaspersky Anti-Ransomware Tool for Home to the Exclusions so that they will not be blocked in the future. In the Blocked items window you see two inserts Blocked apps and Blocked machines with the lists if corresponding blocked items. From here you can unblock an item or move it to trusted.

To unblock an application:

  1. Open the main application window.
  2. In the lower left corner of the main window, select Settings settings_icon.
  3. The Settings list opens.
  4. Switch to the Blocked items section.
  5. In the Blocked apps list, select the app and click Unblock.

    The application is removed from the list of blocked applications. It may be blocked again in case of suspicious activity.

To move a blocked application to the list of trusted applications:

  1. Open the main application window.

  3. The Settings list opens.
  4. Switch to the Blocked items section.
  5. In the Blocked apps list, select the app and click Move to trusted.

    The application is removed from the blocked list and appears in the trusted list. Kaspersky Anti-Ransomware Tool for Home will not block this application.

To move a blocked machine to the list of trusted machines:
