Enabling and disabling Exploit Prevention

By default, Exploit Prevention is enabled and runs in the mode recommended by Kaspersky experts. You can disable Exploit Prevention if necessary.

To enable or disable Exploit Prevention:

  1. In the main application window, click the Settings button.
  2. In the left part of the window, in the Advanced Threat Protection section, select the Exploit Prevention subsection.

    The settings of the Exploit Prevention component are displayed in the right part of the window.

  3. Do one of the following:
    • Select the Exploit Prevention check box if you want Kaspersky Endpoint Security to monitor executable files that are run by vulnerable applications.

      If Kaspersky Endpoint Security detects that an executable file from a vulnerable application was run by something other than the user, Kaspersky Endpoint Security will perform the action that is selected in the On detecting exploit drop-down list.

    • Clear the Exploit Prevention check box if you do not want Kaspersky Endpoint Security to monitor executable files that are run by vulnerable applications.
  4. To save changes, click the Save button.
