Kaspersky Antivirus is a robust security solution, but sometimes it may identify safe files or applications as threats. To avoid this, you can add exceptions. Here's how to do it.
Start by launching your Kaspersky Antivirus application. Ensure you are on the main screen.
Click on the Settings icon, usually represented by a gear symbol in the bottom-left corner of the main window.
In the Settings menu, find and click on the Additional tab.
Under the Additional tab, choose Threats and Exclusions. This section manages what Kaspersky will and will not scan.
In the Threats and Exclusions menu, find the Manage Exclusions option and click on it. This will allow you to specify files, folders, or applications to be excluded from future scans.
Click the Add button. A new window will appear where you can specify the item you want to exclude.
Fill in the details for the exception. Provide the full path of the file, folder, or application. You can also choose the type of exclusion, such as excluding it from real-time protection or scheduled scans.
Once you have set the details, click on Add to save the exclusion. Exit the settings by clicking OK or applying the changes.
If you encounter any issues, ensure your Kaspersky software is up-to-date. Sometimes an update can resolve problems with adding exclusions.
Adding an exception in Kaspersky Antivirus is straightforward and can save you from false positives. Follow the steps above to keep both your system secure and your necessary files accessible.
