Incontrast with reactive technologies, which analyze code based on records in Kaspersky PURE databases, preventativetechnologies recognize a new threat on your computer by the sequence of actions executed by a program. If, as a resultof activity analysis, the sequence of application's actions arouses any suspicion, Kaspersky PURE blocks the activity ofthis application.For example, when actions such as a program copying itself to network resources, the startup folder and the systemregistry are detected, it is highly likely that this program is a worm. Hazardous sequences of actions also includeattempts to modify the HOSTS file, hidden installation of drivers, etc. You can turn off monitoring for any hazardousactivity or edit the rules of monitoring (see page 138) for it.As opposed to the Application Control, Proactive Defense responds immediately to a defined sequence of anapplication's actions. Activity analysis is performed for all applications, including those grouped as Trusted by theApplication Control component (on page 129).You can create a group of trusted applications (see page 137) for Proactive Defense. If done, you will not be notified ofactivities of these applications.136
