Adding exclusions

To add an exclusion to the Trusted Zone in the Kaspersky Security Center policy:

1. In the Web Plug-in, go to the Trusted Zone settings in the policy that you want to configure.
   1. In the main window of the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, select Devices → Policies & profiles.
   2. Click the policy name you want to configure.
   3. In the <Policy name> window that opens, select the Application settings tab.
   4. Select the Supplementary section.
   5. In the Trusted Zone section, click Settings.

      A Trusted Zone window opens on the Exclusions tab.

2. On the Exclusions tab, use one of the following methods to specify the objects for Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows to skip during scanning and protection:
   • Manually
     1. Click the Add button.
     2. Select the Object excluded from scanning check box to specify further objects to be excluded from the protection or scan scope.
        

        Adds a file, folder, drive, or script file to an exclusion.

        If the check box is selected, Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows skips the specified predefined scope, file, folder, drive or script file while running the scan using the Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows component selected in the Rule usage scope section.

        By default, the check box is cleared.

     3. In the drop-down list, select the object type that you want to exclude from the scan scope.

        When specifying the objects, you can use names masks (via ? and * characters) and all types of environment variables. The resolving of environment variables (replacing variables with their values) is performed by Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows when starting a task, or when applying new settings to a running task (not applicable to On-Demand Scan tasks). Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows resolves environment variables under the account used to start the task. For more information on environment variables, refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

     4. Select the Apply to subfolders check box to exclude all child folders of the specified object from the protection or scan scope.
     5. Select the Objects excluded from detection check box to further specify objects to exclude from detection.
        

        Objects are excluded from scanning by the name or name mask of the detectable object. The list of names of detectable objects is available on the Virus Encyclopedia website.

        If this check box is selected, Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows skips specified detectable objects during scanning.

        If the check box is cleared, Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows detects all objects specified in the application by default.

        By default, the check box is cleared.

     6. Specify the name or name mask of the object to detect according to the Virus Encyclopedia classification.
     7. Select the check boxes next to the names of the tasks to apply the exclusion to.
     8. Click the OK button.
