Has anyone bothered setting up exclusions for Kaspersky (Total Security in my case)?

I have Windows Updates disabled, and don't desire to routinely update anything besides KTS.

It would be nice not to have to manually commit changes every time KTS updates, so I rather utilize the SD exclusions.

I installed KTS using Total Uninstall, which generated a nice detailed list of all the file and registry locations.

Adding all the file exclusions was pretty easy, but there are a ton of registry entries that I am not so enthusiastic about manually adding.

I wonder if there are a couple registry entries that are necessary to allow KTS to update, and if the large majority of them are 'stationary'.

As for the registry entries, they are quite extensive, so I will not list them here. It took me about 5-10 minutes to add all the file exclusions, but I imagine adding all the registry exclusions would take several hours.

Maybe I could wait until the next KTS update, and log it with Total Uninstall to see which registry keys are changed, and go from there.

Thought I would post this here, incase I am not the only one interested in this.

(The faded out entries are from Kaspersky VPN, that I have since uninstalled)
