When this check box is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security prevents alteration or deletion of application files on the hard drive, memory processes, and entries in the system registry. |
Block external management of application services |
|
If the check box is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security does not allow managing application services using third-party applications (such as CMD). When an attempt is made to manage application services using third-party applications, a notification is displayed in the Microsoft Windows taskbar, above the application icon (unless the notification service has been disabled by the user). |
Password Protection |
|
If the toggle button is switched on, Kaspersky Endpoint Security prompts the user for a password when the user attempts to perform an operation that is within the scope of Password Protection. The Password Protection scope includes forbidden operations (such as disabling protection components) and the user accounts to which the Password Protection scope is applied. After Password Protection is enabled, Kaspersky Endpoint Security prompts you to set a password for KLAdmin account. KLAdmin account is an Administrator account with unrestricted access to Kaspersky Endpoint Security. The KLAdmin account has the right to perform any action that is password-protected. The permissions for the KLAdmin account cannot be revoked. |
