In our past posts we mentioned ways to optimize your computer\u2019s resources when Kaspersky Internet Security<\/a> is active, in How To Configure A Kaspersky Product To Increase Computer Performance?<\/a> and How To Perform A Virus Check When The Computer Is Idle?<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today we will review another feature that improves computer performance when being protected by Kaspersky Internet Security<\/a>. To ensure seamless work you can configure exclusions to be applied during a virus scan, like if you don\u2019t want to spend time scanning programs or folders that are unquestionably safe. In this case, you can create an exclusion rule for those items:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In the application\u2019s main window click the Settings<\/b> link and select the Additional<\/b> section in the left-hand sidebar.<\/li>\n
  2. In the right part of the window go to Threats and Exclusions<\/b>, <\/b>then click the Configure exclusions rules<\/b> in the Exclusions <\/b>section.<\/b><\/li>\n
  3. In the window that appears next, click Add<\/b> and use the Browse<\/b> button in the Add new exclusion window. <\/b>Choose the files and folders you want the rule to apply to during the scan:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\"kis_scanner\"<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Choose protection components that will use the rule. If you want to skip items during all types of scan, select all check boxes.<\/li>\n
    2. In the Status<\/b> section you can choose the rule status:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u2013 Active<\/b> (the files and folders fill be excluded from scan according to the rule).<\/p>\n

      \u2013 Inactive<\/b> (the files and folders will be scanned in spite of the rule).<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Click Add<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Congratulations! You have successfully added an exclusion rule. From this moment on, you won\u2019t be spending time scanning your pre-specified folders or items.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
