Kaspersky Endpoint Security does not scan an object if the drive or folder containing this object is included in the scan scope at the start of one of the scan tasks. However, the scan exclusion is not applied when a custom scan task is started for this particular object.
To create a scan exclusion:
The lists of scan exclusions in the parent and child policies will be merged. The lists will be merged provided that merging values when inheriting is enabled. Scan exclusions from the parent policy are displayed in child policies in a read-only view. Changing or deleting scan exclusions of the parent policy is not possible.
The Scan exclusion window opens. In this window, you can create a scan exclusion using one or both of the criteria from the Properties section.
Use masks:
*
(asterisk) character, which takes the place of any set of characters, except the \
and /
characters (delimiters of the names of files and folders in paths to files and folders). For example, the mask C:\*\*.txt
will include all paths to files with the TXT extension located in folders on the C: drive, but not in subfolders.*
characters take the place of any set of characters (including an empty set) in the file or folder name, including the \
and /
characters (delimiters of the names of files and folders in paths to files and folders). For example, the mask C:\Folder\**\*.txt
will include all paths to files with the TXT extension located in the folder named Folder
and its subfolders. The mask must include at least one nesting level. The mask C:\**\*.txt
is not a valid mask.?
(question mark) character, which takes the place of any single character, except the \
and /
characters (delimiters of the names of files and folders in paths to files and folders). For example, the mask C:\Folder\???.txt
will include paths to all files residing in the folder named Folder
that have the TXT extension and a name consisting of three characters.In a file or folder name mask, you can use the asterisk character (*) to take the place of any set of characters in the file name.
For example, you can use masks for adding the following paths:
*.exe
will include all paths to files that have the exe extension.example*
will include all paths to files named EXAMPLE.C:\dir\*.*
mask will include all paths to files located in the C:\dir\ folder, but not in the subfolders of C:\dir\.C:\dir\*
will include all paths to files located in the C:\dir\ folder, but not in the subfolders of C:\dir\.C:\dir\
will include all paths to files located in the C:\dir\ folder, but not in the subfolders of C:\dir\.C:\dir\*.exe
will include all paths to files with the EXE extension located in the C:\dir\ folder, but not in the subfolders of C:\dir\.C:\dir\test
will include all paths to files named "test" located in the C:\dir\ folder, but not in the subfolders of C:\dir\.C:\dir\*\test
will include all paths to files named "test" located in the C:\dir\ folder and in the subfolders of C:\dir\.dir\*.*
will include all paths to files in folders named "dir", but not in the subfolders of those folders.dir\*
will include all paths to files in folders named "dir", but not in the subfolders of those folders.dir\
will include all paths to files in folders named "dir", but not in the subfolders of those folders.dir\*.exe
will include all paths to files with the EXE extension in folders named "dir", but not in the subfolders of those folders.dir\test
will include all paths to files named "test" in folders named "dir", but not in the subfolders of those folders.A link to the added file or folder appears in the Scan exclusion description section of the Scan exclusion window.
A link to the added object name appears in the Scan exclusion description section of the Scan exclusion window.
If the components are specified in the settings of the scan exclusion, this exclusion is applied only during scanning by these components of Kaspersky Endpoint Security.
If the components are not specified in the settings of the scan exclusion, this exclusion is applied during scanning by all components of Kaspersky Endpoint Security.
The scan exclusion you have added appears in the table on the Scan exclusions tab of the Trusted zone window. The configured settings of this scan exclusion appear in the Scan exclusion description section.
