Types of detected objects | The application detects various types of objects, such as viruses and worms, Trojans, and adware. For details, please refer to the Kaspersky Encyclopedia. You can disable detection of the following types of objects:
|
Manage exclusions | Clicking this link opens the Exclusions window containing a list of scan exclusions. A scan exclusion is a set of conditions that, when fulfilled, cause the application to not scan a particular object for viruses and other threats. You can add, edit, or delete exclusions from the list. In the window for adding or editing an exclusion, you can define specific conditions that, when fulfilled, will prevent objects from being scanned (the application will not scan them):
Instead of deleting an exclusion from the list, you can change the status of an en exclusion to Inactive (in the window for adding or editing an exclusion). When inactive, the exclusion will not be applied. |
Specify trusted applications | Clicking this link opens a window with the list of trusted applications. Kaspersky Small Office Security does not monitor file activity and network activity of trusted applications (including malicious ones), and does not monitor these applications' queries to the system registry. You can add, edit, or delete trusted applications from the list. Even if an application is on the trusted list, Kaspersky Small Office Security continues to scan the executable file and process of this application for viruses and other threats. If you do not want to scan the executable file and process of a trusted application, add the application to the list of exclusions. When adding or editing a trusted application, in the Exclusions for application window you can specify rules that will be used by Kaspersky Small Office Security to monitor the activity of the trusted application. In the Exclusions for application window, the following rules are available:
If you change the status of an application to Inactive in the Exclusions for application window, Kaspersky Small Office Security does not treat the application as a trusted application. This way, you can temporarily exclude an application from the trusted list without actually deleting it from the list. |
Trusted system certificate store | If one of the trusted system certificate stores is selected, Kaspersky Small Office Security excludes applications signed with a trusted digital signature from scans. Kaspersky Small Office Security automatically assigns such applications to the Trusted group. If Do not use is selected, Kaspersky Small Office Security scans applications regardless of whether or not they have a digital signature. Kaspersky Small Office Security places an application in a trust group depending on the level of danger that this application may pose to the computer. |
