Kaspersky Total Security 2018 analyzes executable files that are run by vulnerable applications. If you did not run an executable file from a vulnerable application, Automatic Exploit Prevention blocks the file (or does whatever action you specified in settings). Information about blocked executable files is logged in the Exploit Prevention report.

The lists of vulnerable applications are continuously updated along with the Kaspersky Total Security 2018 antivirus databases.
