Protection of application services against external management

Protection of application services against external management blocks attempts by users and other applications to stop Kaspersky Endpoint Security services. Protection ensures the operation of the following services:

• Kaspersky Endpoint Security service (avp)
• Kaspersky Seamless Update Service (avpsus)

To quit the application from the command line, disable the protection of Kaspersky Endpoint Security services against external management.

To enable or disable protection of application services against external management:

1. In the main application window, click the button.
2. In the application settings window, select General settings → Application settings.
3. Use the Enable external management of system services check box to enable or disable the protection of Kaspersky Endpoint Security services against external management.
4. Save your changes.

As a result, when a user attempts to stop application services, a system window with an error message appears. The user can only manage application services from the Kaspersky Endpoint Security interface.
