If you believe that a process running on the device could threaten the security of the device or the corporate LAN, you can terminate the process.

Task creation is performed before, as an individual step.

If you selected the Open task details when creation is complete check box on the Finish task creation page during the task creation, proceed to step 4 of the following instruction.

To configure the Terminate process task settings:

1. In the main Kaspersky Security Center Web Console window select Devices → Tasks.
2. To open the task settings window, click the task name.
3. Select the Application settings tab.
4. In the File full path field specify the path to the file of the process that you want to terminate.
5. In the Checksum type drop-down list, select one of the following values: Not set, MD5 or SHA256.
6. If you select MD5 or SHA256, specify the value in the Checksum field.
7. If you want the application to consider the character case in the path to the process file, select the Path is case sensitive check box.
8. In the Protection of critical system files group of settings, select the Do not perform actions on critical system files check box if you want to exclude critical system files from the task scope.

   If this option is selected and an object is a critical system file, the application does not perform any actions on this object. This information is logged in the task execution report.

9. Click the Save button.

You can start the created task manually or configure a scheduled task start.
