3. Reinstall Salad

Navigate in your internet browser to www.salad.io and re-download the installation .exe, and when the installation finishes, be sure to uncheck the “Run Salad” checkbox.

4. Open Kaspersky

This will be the main screen you are presented within Kaspersky, and is your base of virus-fighting operations.

5. Navigate to Settings

You’ll want to navigate to the Additionals tab and click on ‘Threat and Exclusions’ settings , as pictured below

7. Click ‘Threats and Exclusions’

After clicking ‘Threats and Exclusions’ settings you will be greeted with a new popup. From that popup, select ‘Manage Exclusions’

8. Click on ‘Add’

After clicking ‘Manage Exclusions’ you will be greeted with another box. Click ‘Add’ on that box as pictured below

9. Adding Salad as a Whitelist

After clicking ‘Add’ you will be greeted with another dialogue box. Under the ‘File and Folder’ option,  you’ll want to navigate to the Salad installation folder and select it, the default installation path is “C:\Users\YourUserHere\AppData\Roaming\Salad” (without the quotations) and click on ‘Add’.

10. Click Add

Once you’ve found your Salad installation folder and clicked it, hit Add, and it will bring you back to the main Kaspersky Exclusions whitelist page with your newly added exclusion.
