User Guide - Kaspersky Lab

Protection management system 71
could be installed on your computer and could damage your files, steal your
money, or take up your time.
Kaspersky Lab does not recommend disabling monitoring for the second group.
If a situation arises when Kaspersky Internet Security classifies a program that
you do not consider dangerous as a potentially dangerous program, we
recommend creating an exclusion for it (see 6.9 on pg. 71).
To select the types of malware to monitor,
open the application settings window and select Threats and
exclusions. Configuration is performed under Malware Categories (see
Figure 10).
Figure 10. Selecting Threats to Monitor
6.9. Creating a trusted zone
A trusted zone is a list of objects created by the user, that Kaspersky Internet
Security does not monitor. In other words, it is a set of programs excluded from
protection.
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
exclusion list if, for example, Kaspersky Internet Security blocks access to an
object or program 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
exclude 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).
Warning!
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
exclusion rule will not apply.
