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 the scan scope in 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 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. Use the check boxes in the list of trusted applications to specify the applications or application categories to be excluded from scan. If the check box is selected, Kaspersky Security excludes the application or application category from scan. If the check box is cleared, Kaspersky Security scans the application or application category.
  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 the scan scope 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.
