Including or excluding a trusted application or category of trusted applications from scans

You can temporarily pause the exclusion of a trusted application or category of trusted applications from Kaspersky Security scans without removing the trusted application or application category from the list of trusted applications.

To include a trusted application or application category in the scan scope or exclude a trusted application or application category from scans through Kaspersky Security Center:

  1. Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
  2. In the Managed devices folder of the console tree, open the folder with the name of the administration group to which the relevant protected virtual machines belong.
  3. In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
  4. Select a Light Agent for Windows policy in the list of policies and open the Properties: <Policy name> by double-clicking.
  5. In the Light Agent for Windows policy properties window, select the General Protection Settings section in the list on the left.
  6. In the right part of the window, in the Exclusions and trusted zone section, click the Settings button.

    The Trusted zone window opens.

  7. Select the Trusted applications tab.
  8. In the list of trusted applications, select the relevant trusted application or application category and perform one of the following actions:
    • If you want to exclude a trusted application or application category from Kaspersky Security scans, select the check box next to its name.
    • If you want to include a trusted application or application category in the Kaspersky Security scan scope, clear the check box next to its name.
  9. In the Trusted zone window, click OK.
  10. Click the Apply button.

To include a trusted application or application category in the scan scope or exclude a trusted application or application category from scans in the local interface: 

  1. On the protected virtual machine, open the application settings window.
  2. In the left part of the window, select the Anti-Virus protection section.

    The anti-virus protection settings are shown in the right part of the window.

    If the settings in the local interface are not available, this means that the values of settings defined by the policy are used for all protected virtual machines of the administration group.

  3. Complete steps 6–9 of the previous instructions.
  4. To save changes, click the Save button.
