Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security 3.4 for Windows

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 Application Console tree, open the context menu of the Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows node.
  2. In the Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows node context menu, select Configure Trusted Zone settings.

    The Trusted Zone window opens.

  3. 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.
  4. Click the OK button.
