Many ordinary PC users are interested in how to add a folder to exclusions in Kaspersky. This antivirus is one of the most widespread and reliable at present, but from time to time users may have questions about its operation and configuration.
Users of personal computers from time to time are faced with the blocking of the desired program or site. We can say that exclusions in Kaspersky work with excessive zeal, and the antivirus takes resources and materials that are not such as potentially dangerous. For experienced users, this situation may not be a problem, however, beginners sometimes hastily decide to abandon the use of these applications, or (even more dangerous) completely disable the protection system. However, the exceptions in Kaspersky 2013 (as well as other versions of the antivirus) will help you unblock any site. How to use this function, we will consider further.
How to add to exclusions in Kaspersky: detailed instructions
First of all, right-click on the antivirus program icon near the clock (lower right corner of the screen), then select the "Settings" item in the menu that appears. Go to the "Additional settings" tab (it looks like a yellow envelope). Next, we need to use the first item in the menu that appears, which says about threats and exceptions.
Left-click on the "Settings" column in the "Exceptions" section. After that, in the appeared window called "Trusted zone" click "Add", then "Select an object" and finally "Browse". The selection window allows you to specify both the folder and the file to add to exclusions. If you specify a folder, make sure that there is a check mark in the paragraph about subfolders.
Working with exceptions
After confirmation, the object you specified will be added to the list of the trusted zone. Then click "OK", and the number of installed rules and trusted programs will be indicated in the "Exclusions" section in the settings section. After completing these steps, you must apply the settings. If you need to access a specific site, follow these steps. Select the "Settings" function. Go to the "Protection Center" tab (green shield-shaped icon) and there select the menu called "Web Antivirus". Make sure that the box next to Enable Web Antivirus is ticked and click Settings (located under the Security Level indicator). In the window that appears, select the tab titled "Web Addresses". Next, check the corresponding box so that the security system does not check web traffic on trusted web addresses. Click on the "Add" button, enter the blocked site. Enclose the resource address on both sides with asterisks so that when you enter other pages of this website, they are also not blocked. It is not necessary to enter the site name, you can also unblock a group of addresses that contain a certain key in the name, for example, * torrent *. Finally, confirm the action.
Quarantine
We talked about exceptions, but if a virus is found, a quarantine function will be required, which should also be said a few words. We open the program "Kaspersky Anti-Virus", we find the section "Computer protection". Here you need to pay attention to the icon in the form of a radioactive threat. This is how Kaspersky Anti-Virus designates access to the quarantine, which initially contains various suspicious files that have exe permission. or bin. So we figured out how to add to exclusions in Kaspersky.
