Including or excluding a trusted application from scanning

You can temporarily suspend the exclusion of a trusted application from Kaspersky Security application scanning without removing the trusted application from the list of trusted applications.

To include a trusted application in the scan scope or exclude a trusted application from scanning via 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 Light Agent for Windows 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. In the list of trusted applications, select the relevant trusted application and perform one of the following actions:
    • To exclude a trusted application from Kaspersky Security scanning, set the check box next to its name.
    • To include a trusted application in Kaspersky Security scanning, clear the check box next to its name.
  9. In the Trusted zone window, click OK.
  10. Click the Apply button.

To include a trusted application in the scan scope or exclude a trusted application from scanning in 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.

  3. Complete steps 6-9 of the previous instructions.

    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.

  4. To save changes, click the Save button.
