Adding exclusions

To add exclusions from the encryption protection scope, take the following steps:

1. Expand the Managed devices node in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console tree.
2. Select the administration group for which you want to configure application settings.
3. Perform one of the following actions in the details pane of the selected administration group:
   • To configure application settings for a group of protected devices, select the Policies tab and open the Properties: <Policy name> window.
   • To configure the application for a single protected device, select the Devices tab and open the Application settings window.

     If an active Kaspersky Security Center policy is applied to a device and blocks changes to application settings, then these settings cannot be edited in the Application settings window.

4. In the Network activity control section, click the Settings button in the Anti-Cryptor subsection.

   The Anti-Cryptor window opens.

5. On the Exclusions tab, select the Apply exclusion list check box.
   

   If the check box is selected, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server does not detect malicious encryption activity that occurs in the specified areas when the Anti-Cryptor task is run.

   If the check box is cleared, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server detects encryption activity in all shared folders.

   By default, the check box is selected and the exclusion list includes following items added by Kaspersky experts:

   • *.stt;
   • *.sig;
   • *.exe;
   • *.sldprt.
6. Click the Add button.

   The Select folder to add window opens.

7. Click the Browse button to select a folder, or enter the folder manually.
8. Click OK.

The excluded area will be added to the list.
