At this step, you can create a trusted zone for the Light Agent for Windows component.
A trusted zone is a system administrator-configured list of files, folders, objects, and applications that Kaspersky Security does not monitor when active, i.e. a list of exclusions from protection and scanning.
The list in the Exclusions window contains the names of applications or names of application vendors that you can include in the trusted zone or exclude from it.
To configure the trusted zone:
- Use the check boxes in the list to specify the applications or application vendors to be included in the trusted zone.
If the check box is selected, files, folders, and processes recommended for these applications are included in the trusted zone, and the executable files of these applications are automatically added to the list of trusted applications.
- By default, the trusted zone includes the applications recommended for desktop operating systems (if you are installing Light Agent to a virtual machine running a Microsoft Windows desktop operating system) and server operating systems (if you are installing Light Agent to a virtual machine running a Microsoft Windows server operating system).
If you want to exclude recommended applications from the trusted zone, clear the Create recommended exclusions for desktop operating systems check box or the Create recommended exclusions for server operating systems check box (depending on the operating system of the virtual machine on which you are installing Light Agent).
After installation of Light Agent for Windows is completed, you can configure the trusted zone settings in the Light Agent for Windows policy properties or in the local interface of the application.
Go to the next step in the Installation wizard.
