Configuring the task scan scope

If you modify the scan scope in the Scan at Operating System Startup and Critical Areas Scan tasks, you can restore the default scan scope in these tasks by repairing Kaspersky Security for Windows Server itself (Start > Programs > Kaspersky Security for Windows Server > Modify or Remove Kaspersky Security for Windows Server). In the setup wizard, select Repair installed components and click Next. Then select the Restore recommended application settings check box.

To configure a scan scope for an existing On-Demand Scan task:

1. Open the Properties: On-Demand Scan window.
2. Select the Scan scope tab.
3. To include items in the scan scope:
   1. Open the context menu in an empty part of the scan scope list.
   2. Select the Add scope option in the context menu.
   3. In the opened Add objects to the scan scope window select an object type that you want to add:
      • Predefined scope – to add one of the predefined scopes on a protected device. Then in the drop-down list, select the desired scan scope.
      • Disk, folder or network location – to include an individual drive, folder or network object in the scan scope. Then select the desired scope by clicking the Browse button.
      • File – to include an individual file in the scan scope. Then select the desired scope by clicking the Browse button.

      You cannot add an object to a scan scope if it has already been added as an exclusion from scan scope.

4. To exclude individual nodes from the scan scope, clear the check boxes next to the names of these nodes or take the following steps:
   1. Open the context menu on the scan scope by right-clicking it.
   2. In the context menu, select the Add exclusion option.
   3. In the Add exclusion window, select an object type that you want to add as an exclusion from the scan scope following the procedure used when adding an object to the scan scope.
5. To modify the scan scope or an added exclusion, select the Edit scope option in the context menu for the corresponding scan scope.
6. To hide a previously added scan scope or exclusion in the list of network file resources, select the Remove scope option in the context menu for the necessary scan scope.

   The scan scope is excluded from the On-Demand Scan task scope when it is removed from the network file resource list.

7. Click the OK button.

The scan scope settings window closes. The newly configured settings are saved.
