Deleting information about unused applications

Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses application rights to control the activities of applications. Application rights are determined by their trust group. Kaspersky Endpoint Security puts an application into a trust group the first time the application is started. You can manually change the trust group of an application. You can also manually configure the rights of an individual application. Kaspersky Endpoint Security stores the following information about an application: trust group of the application, and rights of the application.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security automatically deletes information about unused applications to save computer resources. Kaspersky Endpoint Security deletes application information according to the following rules:

When you start an application whose information has been deleted, Kaspersky Endpoint Security analyzes the application as if it were starting for the first time.

To configure automatic deletion of information about unused applications:

  1. In the main application window, click the Settings button.
  2. In the application settings window, select Advanced Threat ProtectionHost Intrusion Prevention.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • If you want to configure automatic deletion, select the Delete rights for applications that are not started for more than N days check box and specify the necessary number of days.

      Information about the applications that you manually put into a trust group or whose access rights you manually configured will be deleted by Kaspersky Endpoint Security after the defined number of days. Information about applications whose trust group and application rights were automatically determined will also be deleted by Kaspersky Endpoint Security after 30 days.

    • If you want to turn off automatic deletion, clear the Delete rights for applications that are not started for more than N days check box.

      Information about the applications that you manually put into a trust group or whose access rights you manually configured will be stored by Kaspersky Endpoint Security indefinitely, without any storage term limits. Kaspersky Endpoint Security will only delete information about applications whose trust group and application rights were automatically determined after 30 days.

  4. Save your changes.
