Trusted zone is the user-created list of objects which should not be controlled by Kaspersky PURE. In other words, it is a set of exclusions from the scope of My Computer Protection. Trusted zone is created based on:

• Exclusion rules
• Trusted applications

What are exclusion rules?

Exclusion rules are sets of conditions that My Computer Protection uses to verify if it can skip an object during the scan. You can create exclusion rules only for the following components:

• File Anti-Virus
• Mail Anti-Virus
• Web Anti-Virus
• Application Control
• Proactive Defense
• Scan.

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

You can also define component(s) and tasks for which the exclusion will work
