Editing the scan scope
The Scan scope is a list of paths to folders and paths that Kaspersky Endpoint Security scans when executing the task. Kaspersky Endpoint Security supports environment variables and the *
and ?
characters when entering a mask.
To edit the scan scope, we recommend using the Custom Scan task. Kaspersky experts recommend that you do not change the scan scope of the Full Scan and Critical Areas Scan tasks.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security has the following predefined objects as part of the scan scope:
- My email.
Files relevant to the Outlook mail client: data files (PST), offline data files (OST).
- System memory.
- Startup Objects.
Memory occupied by processes and application executable files that are run at system startup.
- Disk boot sectors.
Hard disk and removable disk boot sectors.
- System Backup.
Contents of the System Volume Information folder.
- All external devices.
- All hard drives.
- All network drives.
We recommend creating a separate scan task for scanning network drives or shared folders. In the settings of the Malware Scan task, specify a user that has write access to this drive; this is necessary to mitigate detected threats. If the server where the network drive is located has its own security tools, do not run the scan task for that drive. In this way, you can avoid checking object twice and improve the performance of the server.
To exclude folders or files from the scan scope, add the folder or file to the trusted zone.
How to edit a scan scope in the Administration Console (MMC)
- Open the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
- In the console tree, select Tasks.
- Select the scan task and double-click to open the task properties.
If necessary, create the Malware Scan task.
- In the task properties window, select the Settings section.
- In the Scan scope section, click Settings.
- In the window that opens, select the objects that you want to add to the scan scope or exclude from it.
- If you want to add a new object to the scan scope:
- Click Add.
- In the Object field, enter the path to the folder or file.
Use masks:
- The
*
(asterisk) character, which takes the place of any set of characters, except the\
and/
characters (delimiters of the names of files and folders in paths to files and folders). For example, the maskC:\*\*.txt
will include all paths to files with the TXT extension located in folders on the C: drive, but not in subfolders. - Two consecutive
*
characters take the place of any set of characters (including an empty set) in the file or folder name, including the\
and/
characters (delimiters of the names of files and folders in paths to files and folders). For example, the maskC:\Folder\**\*.txt
will include all paths to files with the TXT extension located in folders nested within theFolder
, except theFolder
itself. The mask must include at least one nesting level. The maskC:\**\*.txt
is not a valid mask. - The
?
(question mark) character, which takes the place of any single character, except the\
and/
characters (delimiters of the names of files and folders in paths to files and folders). For example, the maskC:\Folder\???.txt
will include paths to all files residing in the folder namedFolder
that have the TXT extension and a name consisting of three characters.
You can use masks anywhere in a file or folder path. For example, if you want the scan scope to include the Downloads folder for all user accounts on the computer, enter the
C:\Users\*\Downloads\
mask. - The
You can exclude an object from scans without deleting it from the list of objects in the scan scope. To do so, clear the check box next to the object.
- Save your changes.
How to edit a scan scope in the Web Console and Cloud Console
- In the main window of the Web Console, select Devices → Tasks.
The list of tasks opens.
- Click the scan task.
The task properties window opens. If necessary, create the Malware Scan task.
- Select the Application settings tab.
- In the Scan scope section, select the objects that you want to add to the scan scope or exclude from it.
- If you want to add a new object to the scan scope:
- Click the Add button.
- In the Path field, enter the path to the folder or file.

- The
*
(asterisk) character, which takes the place of any set of characters, except the\
and/

that have the TXT extension and a name consisting of three characters.
You can use masks anywhere in a file or folder path. For example, if you want the scan scope to include the Downloads folder for all user accounts on the computer, enter the
C:\Users\*\Downloads\
mask. - The
You can exclude an object from scans without deleting it from the list of objects in the scan scope. To do so, set the toggle switch next to it to the off position.
- Save your changes.
How to edit a scan scope in the application interface
- In the main application window, go to the Tasks section.
- This opens the task list; select the Custom Scan task and click Select.
You can also edit the scan scope for other tasks. Kaspersky experts recommend that you do not change the scan scope of the Full Scan and Critical Areas Scan tasks.
- In the window that opens, select the objects that you want to add to the scan scope.
- Save your changes.
If the scan task is not displayed, it means the administrator has prohibited the use of local tasks in the policy.
