Excluded mount points

The Excluded mount points table contains the mount points to be excluded from scanning by tasks that use the file operation interceptor (File Threat Protection and Anti-Cryptor).

In the Path column, paths to excluded mount points are displayed.

The table is empty by default.

You can add, edit, and delete items in the table.

Clicking the Delete button causes Kaspersky Endpoint Security to remove the selected mount point.

This button is available if at least one item is selected in the list.

Clicking the table item opens the File system, access protocol, and path window. In this window, you can edit a mount point.
