The scan scope refers to the locations of files which are scanned by the application while running a scan task. You can expand or narrow the scan scope by adding or removing objects to be scanned by the application.
To create the scan scope:
Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
Do one of the following:
To configure the settings of a task created for the virtual machines within the selected administration group, select the folder with the name of this administration group in the console tree and in the workspace select the Tasks tab.
To configure the settings of a task created for one or more virtual machines (tasks for a set of devices), select the Tasks folder in the console tree.
In the list of tasks, select the required virus scan task for Light Agent for Linux and open the Settings: <Task name> window by double-clicking it.
In the properties window of the task, select the Settings section in the list on the left.
In the right part of the window, in the Scan scope section, click the Settings button.
In the Scan scope window that opens, create the scan scope:
To add a new object to the list of objects to be scanned:
Click the Add button.
In the Select object window that opens, in the Object field, enter the path to the object and click Add.
Click OK in the Select object window.
The added object appears in the list of objects in the Scan scope window.
To change the path to an object:
Select the object in the list of objects and click Edit.
In the Select object window that opens, in the Object field, specify another path to the object and click OK.
To remove an object from the scan scope:
Select the object in the list of objects and click Delete.
In the removal confirmation window click Yes.
You cannot remove or edit objects that are included in the default scan scope.
If you want to exclude an object from the scan scope, clear the check box next to the object in the Scan scope list. The object remains on the list of objects to be scanned, but it is not scanned when the scan task runs.
