Exclusion of objects from the scan area

By default, Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans all objects within a protected area.

You can define name and path templates that are excluded from the scan area. In this case, Kaspersky Anti-Virus will not scan files or directories from the scan area that are specified using Shell masks or ECMA-262 regular expressions.

Using Shell masks, you can specify the file name template exluded from the scan by Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

Using regular expressions, you can specify the file path template exluded from the scan by Kaspersky Anti-Virus. The regular expression should not contain the name of the directory containing excluded object.

To exclude objects from the scan area by name, mask or regular expression, perform the following steps:

  1. In the left part of Kaspersky Web Management Console select the On-demand scan task type.
  2. In the right part of the web-console window, click the link with the name of the task whose settings you want to modify.
  3. Select the Scan areastab.
  4. In the line with the selected scan area, click the link in the Objects column.

    This will open the Task settings window on the Object masks tab.

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

You can delete from the list all templates for the masks or paths using the button delete.bmp.
