Exclusions are managed via the Trusted zone in Kaspersky Antivirus 6.0.

Exclusion masks can be only created for the components File Anti-Virus, Mail Anti-Virus, Proactive Defense and the Scan tasks. Exclusion masks allow adding exclusion by: 

• Object - exclusion of a certain object, directory, or files that match a certain mask from scans. 
• Verdict - exclude objects from scans based on the status assigned to them from the Virus Encyclopedia.

The following parameters can be configured/ modified for the Object type: 

• Define file, folder or mask excluded from scan 
• Define exclusions for subfolders, if a definite folder is given as an exclusion 
• Define component(s) and tasks for which the exclusion will work

The following parameters can be configured/ modified for the Verdict type: 

• Define the name/ mask of the threat verdict according to the Kaspersky Lab Virus Encyclopedia 
• Define component(s) and tasks for which the exclusion will work 
• Assign advanced conditions for applying rules in the Advanced settings field. In most cases, this field is filled in automatically when you add an exclusion rule from a Proactive Defense notice. You can add advanced settings for the following verdicts, among others: 
• Invader. For this verdict, you can give a name, mask, or complete path to the object being embed (for example, a .dll file) as an additional exclusion condition. 
• Launching Internet Browser. For this verdict, you can list browser open settings as additional exclusion settings.
