Figure 35. Proactive Defense settings
This Proactive Defense component is not available under Microsoft
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Microsoft Windows Vista or
Microsoft Windows Vista x64.
• Whether system registry changes are monitored
By default, Enable Registry Guard is checked, which means
Kaspersky Internet Security analyzes all attempts to make changes to the
Microsoft Windows system registry keys.
You can create your own rules (see 10.3.2 on pg. 131) for monitoring the
registry, depending on the registry key.
You can configure exclusions (see 6.9.1 on pg. 72) for Proactive Defense
modules and create a trusted application list (see 6.9.2 on pg. 77).
The following sections examine these aspects in more detail.
10.1. Activity Monitoring Rules
Note that configuring application control under Microsoft Windows XP
Professional x64 Edition, Microsoft Windows Vista or Microsoft Windows Vista
x64 differs from the configuration process on other operating systems.
Information about configuring activity control for these operating systems is
provided at the end of this section.
