Configuring the trusted zone

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 and names of application vendors that you can include in the trusted zone.

To configure the trusted zone:

  1. In the list of applications and application vendors, perform one of the following actions:
    • Select the check box to the left of the name of the application or vendor if you want to include the vendor’s application or applications 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.

    • Clear the check box to the left of the name of the application or vendor if you want to exclude the vendor’s application or applications from the trusted zone.
  2. 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.
