You can configure the exclusion of objects from scans based on name mask. The application will not scan files whose names contain the specified mask. By default, the list of masks is empty.
Clicking the Delete button causes Kaspersky Endpoint Security to remove the selected name mask of files excluded from a scan.
This button is available if at least one file mask is selected in the list.
Clicking the mask opens the Object mask window. In this window, in the Define object mask field, you can modify the name template for files that Kaspersky Endpoint Security excludes from scans.
Clicking the Add button opens the Object mask window. In this window, in the Define object mask field, you can specify the name template for files that Kaspersky Endpoint Security excludes from scans.
Examples:
The *.txt mask refers to all text files.
The *_my_file_??.html mask refers to html files starting with any characters, and ending with _my_file_ followed by any two characters (for example, 2020_my_file_09.html).
You can enable the merging of the list of exclusions when inherited by child policies. If you want to merge list items, select the Merge inherited values check box. If the check box is selected, items in the list of the parent policy are displayed in child policies, and items can be added to the list of the child policy. If the check box is cleared, the list items are not merged when inheriting policy settings. This check box is cleared by default.
