Exclusion of objects from a protection area

By default, Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans all objects within the scan or protection area.

You can specify the name and path templates to be excluded from the scan or protection area. In this case, Kaspersky Anti-Virus will not scan files or folders in the scan or protection 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 protection area by name, mask or regular expression, perform the following steps:

  1. In the left part of Kaspersky Web Management Console select the Real-time protection task type.
  2. Select theProtection areas tab.
  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, check the Exclude objects by mask tab.
  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 from the list all templates for the masks or paths using the button delete.bmp.
