Kaspersky Anti-Virus, see the Virus Encyclopedia at

). After the
scan, these programs may be blocked. Since several of them are very common,
you have the option of excluding them from the scan. To do so, you must add
threat name or mask to the trusted zone using the Virus Encyclopedia classifica-
tion.
For example, imagine you use a Remote Administrator program frequently in
your work.
This is a remote access system with which you can work from a re-
mote computer. Kaspersky Anti-Virus views this sort of application activity as
potentially dangerous and may block it. To keep the application from being
blocked, you must create an exclusion rule that specifies
not-a-
virus:RemoteAdmin.Win32.RAdmin.22
as a threat type.
When you add an exclusion, a rule is created that several program components
(File Anti-Virus, Mail Anti-Virus, Proactive Defense, Web Anti-Virus
)
and virus
scan tasks can later use. You can create exclusion rules in a special window that
you can open from the program settings window, from the notice about detecting
the object, and from the report window.
To add exclusions on the
Exclusion Masks
tab:
1. Click on the
Add
button in the
Exclusion Masks
window (see Figure
11).
2. In the window that opens (see Figure 12), click the exclusion type in the
Properties
section:
Object
– exclusion of a certain object, directory, or files that match a
certain mask from scan.
Threat type
– excluding an object from the scan based on its status
from the Virus Encyclopedia classification.
If you check both boxes at once, a rule will be created for that object
with a certain status according to Virus Encyclopedia threat type classi-
fication. In such case, the following rules apply:
If you specify a certain file as the
Object
and a certain status in the
Threat type
section, the file specified will only be excluded if it is
classified as the threat selected during the scan.
If you select an area or folder as the
Object
and the status (or ver-
dict mask) as the
Threat type
, then objects with that status will only
be excluded when that area or folder is scanned.
