USE OF RULES FROM KASPERSKY SECURITY NETWORK BY APPLICATION
CONTROL
By default, applications found in the Kaspersky Security Network database are processed according to the rules loaded
from this database.
If an application was not found in the Kaspersky Security Network database at the first run but information about it was
added later, Kaspersky Internet Security will automatically update the rules for the control of this application by default.
You can disable the usage of rules from the Kaspersky Security Network and / or the automatic update of the rules for
previously unknown applications.
To disable the usage of rules from the Kaspersky Security Network:
1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Protection Center section, select the Application Control component.
3. In the right part of the window, in the Applications restriction section, uncheck the Load rules for
applications from Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) box.
To disable updates of Kaspersky Security Network rules for previously unknown applications:
1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Protection Center section, select the Application Control component.
3. In the right part of the window, in the Applications restriction section, uncheck the Update rules for
previously unknown applications from KSN box.
INHERITANCE OF RESTRICTIONS OF THE PARENT PROCESS
On your computer, you are not the only one that has rights to launch programs and processes. Other running programs
(processes) also can do it; thus they become parent ones. If a parent process has a lower rights priority than a program
that it launches, Application Control applies the same restrictions to the program being launched as to the parent
process. Thus, the program being launched inherits all restrictions from its parent process.
This mechanism prevents a non-trusted application or an application with restricted rights from using a trusted
application to perform actions requiring certain privileges.
If an application's activity is blocked because a parent process has insufficient rights, you can modify these rights or
disable inheritance of restrictions from the parent process.
You should modify the rights of a parent process only if you are absolutely certain that the process' activities do not
threaten the security of the system!
