Open the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
In the console tree, select the Policies folder.
Select the necessary policy and double-click it to open its properties.
Under Application settings, select Security settings.
Under Self-defense, either:
Select the Enable self-defense for application modules in memory check box if you want to enable the Self-Defense mechanism, or
Clear the Enable self-defense for application modules in memory check box if you want to disable the Self-Defense mechanism.
In the upper right corner of the settings group, move the toggle switch from Unaffected by policy to Under policy.
Click OK.
The Self-Defense mechanism is enabled or disabled.
