Applying the not-a-virus mask

The not-a-virus mask makes it possible to skip scanning of legitimate software files that may be considered harmful. The mask affects the following tasks:

• Real-Time File Protection.
• On-Demand Scan

If the mask is not added to the exclusions list, Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows will apply the actions specified in the task settings to software that falls under the not-a-virus category.

To enable the use of the not-a-virus mask:

1. In the Administration Plug-in, go to the Trusted Zone settings in the policy that you want to configure.
   1. Expand the Managed devices node in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console tree.
   2. Select the administration group for which you want to configure the task.
   3. Select the Policies tab.
   4. Double-click the policy name you want to configure.
   5. In the Properties: <Policy name> window that opens, select the Supplementary section.
   6. In the Trusted Zone section, click Settings.

      The Trusted Zone window opens.

2. On the Exclusions tab, in the Objects to detect column, select the check box next to the not-a-virus:* exclusion added to the trusted zone by default unless already selected.
3. Click the OK button.
