Exclusion of objects from the protection area by type

If Kaspersky Anti-Virus considers a scanned object to be infected or potentially infected, it performs the action on this object specified in the task. If you consider this object to be harmless for the protected computer, you can exclude it from the scan area by the type of object detected in it. In this case, Kaspersky Anti-Virus will treat such objects as clean and skip them.

The full name of the object detected in the file can contain the following information:

<object class>:<object type>.<brief name of the operating system>.<object name>.<object modification code>. For example, not-a-virus:NetTool.Linux.SynScan.a.

You can find the full name of the object detected in the file in the Kaspersky Anti-Virus log.

You can also find the full name of the object detected in the file on the Virus Encyclopedia website.

When specifying object type name templates, you can use Shell masks and ECMA-262 regular expressions.

To exclude objects from the protection area by type:

  1. In the left part of Kaspersky Web Management Console select the Real-time protection task type.
  2. Select the Protection areastab.
  3. Within the line containing the selected protection area, click the link in the Objects column.

    This opens the Task settings window on the Object masks tab.

  4. In the right part of the tab, select the Exclude objects by type check box.
  5. Next to the text field below, click the button and specify the templates for the masks or paths of the excluded files.
  6. Click anywhere in the window with the mouse or press ENTER to save the mask.
  7. Click OK to close the Task settings window.
  8. On the Protection areas tab, click the Save button to save the changes.

You can delete the name templates by clicking the button delete.bmp.
