Exclusion rules are sets of conditions that Kaspersky Internet Security uses to
determine not to scan an object.
You can exclude files of certain formats from the scan, use a file mask, or
exclude a certain area, such as a folder or a program, program processes, or
objects according to their Virus Encyclopedia threat type classification.
The Threat type is the status that Kaspersky Internet Security assigns to an
object during the scan. A verdict is based on the classification of malicious and
potentially dangerous programs found in the Kaspersky Lab Virus Encyclopedia.
