ID 160838

The not-a-virus mask makes it possible to skip scanning of legitimate software files and web resources that can be considered harmful. The mask affects the following tasks:

  • Real-Time File Protection.
  • On-Demand scan.
  • Script Monitoring.
  • RPC Network Storage Protection.
  • Traffic Security.

If the mask is not added to the exclusions list, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server will apply the actions specified in the task settings for the software or web resources which fall under this category.

To apply the not-a-virus mask:

  1. Open the Trusted Zone window.
  2. On the Exclusions tab, in the Objects to detect column, scroll the list and select the line with not-a-virus:*, if the check box is cleared.
  3. Click OK.

The new configuration is applied.
