After the rule is added to the list of rules for the application, you can further
configure the rule (see Figure 52). If you want it to apply to an application
opened with certain command line parameters, check Command line and
enter the parameter string in the field to the right. This rule will not apply to
applications started with a different command line.
You can create a rule from the network activity detection alert window (see 12.3
on pg. 165).
12.1.1.5. Ranking rule priority
A priority rating is set for every packet or application rule created. When other
conditions are equal (for example, the network connection settings), the action
applied to the program activity will be the rule with the higher priority.
The priority of a rule is determined by its position on the list of rules. The first rule
on the list has the highest priority. Each rule created manually is added at the top
of the list. Rules created from a template or from a notification are added at the
bottom of the list.
To prioritize application rules, take the following steps:
1. Select the application name on the Rules for applications tab and click
Add.
2. Use the Move up and Move down buttons on the application rules tab
to move rules on the list, changing their priority ranking.
To prioritize packet filtering rules, take the following steps:
1. Select the rule on the Rules for Packet Filtering tab.
2. Use Move Up and Move Down buttons to move rules around in the list
changing their priority.
12.1.1.6. Rules for security zones
After you install Firewall on your computer, it analyzes your computer’s network
environment. Based on the analysis, it breaks down the entire network space into
zones:
Internet – the World Wide Web. In this zone, Kaspersky Internet Security
operates as a personal firewall, using default application and packet
filtering rules to regulate all network activity and ensure maximum
security. You cannot change protection settings when working in this
zone, other than to enable Stealth Mode on your computer for added
safety.
