Creating a trusted zone
A
trusted zone
is a list of objects created by the user, that Kaspersky Anti-Virus
does not monitor. In other words, it is a set of programs excluded from protec-
tion.
The user creates a trusted zone based on the properties of the files he uses and
the programs installed on his computer. You might need to create such an exclu-
sion list if, for example, Kaspersky Anti-Virus blocks access to an object or pro-
gram and you are sure that the file or program is absolutely safe.
You can exclude files of certain formats from the scan, use a file mask, or ex-
clude a certain area (for example, a folder or a program), program processes, or
objects according to Virus Encyclopedia threat type classification (the status that
the program assigns to objects during a scan).
Note!
Excluded objects are not subject to scans when the disk or folder where they are
located are scanned. However, if you select that object in particular, the exclu-
sion rule will not apply.
To create an exclusion list
1. Open the application settings window and select the
Threats and ex-
clusions
section (see Figure 10).
2. Click the
Trusted Zone
button under
Exclusions
.
3. Configure exclusion rules for objects and create a list of trusted applica-
tions in the window that opens (see Figure 11).
