Exclusions are managed via the Trusted zone in Kaspersky Lab’s products version 2009.

Exclusion rules can be only created for the components File Anti-Virus, Mail Anti-Virus, Proactive Defense, the Scan tasks and Content Filtering (for Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 only). Exclusion rules allow adding exclusions by:

• Object - exclusion of a certain object, directory, or files that match a certain mask/format from scans. 
• Threat type - exclude objects according the Virus Encyclopedia threat type classification.

The following parameters can be configured/ modified for the Object type:

• Define file, folder or mask excluded from scan 
• Define exclusions for subfolders, if a definite folder is given as an exclusion 
• Define component(s) and tasks for which the exclusion will work

The following parameters can be configured/ modified for the Threat type: 

• Define the name/ mask of the threat type classification according to the Kaspersky Lab Virus Encyclopedia 
• Define component(s) and tasks for which the exclusion will work 
• Assign Advanced settings for applying rules in the Advanced settings field. In most cases, this field is filled in automatically when you add an exclusion rule from a Proactive Defense notice. You can add advanced settings for the following threat types, among others: 
• Invader. For this threat type, you can give a name, mask, or complete path to the object being embed (for example, a .dll file) as an additional exclusion condition.
