Whenever a user attempts to start an executable file, this file is automatically added to the Application Control's list. You can create an inventory task to obtain a list of executable files stored on managed devices. To inventory executable files, you must create an inventory task.
The feature of inventorying executable files is available for the following applications:
You can reduce load on the database while obtaining information about the installed applications. To do this, we recommend that you run an inventory task on reference devices on which a standard set of software is installed.
To create an inventory task for executable files on client devices:
The list of tasks is displayed.
The New task wizard starts. Follow the steps of the wizard.
After the New task wizard is complete, the Inventory task is created and configured. If you want, you can change the settings for the created task. The newly created task is displayed in the list of tasks.

After the Inventory task is performed, the list of executable files installed on managed devices is formed and you can view the list.
During inventory, the following formats of executable files are detected: MZ, COM, PE, NE, SYS, CMD, BAT, PS1, JS, VBS, REG, MSI, CPL, DLL, JAR, and HTML.
To view the list of executable files stored on client devices,
In the main menu, go to Operations → Third-party applications → Executable files.
The page displays the list of executable files installed on client devices.
You can also send the executable file from a managed device to Kaspersky, to check for the potential threats.
To send the executable file of the managed device to Kaspersky:
Before you send the executable file, make sure that the managed device has a direct connection to the Administration Server, by selecting the Do not disconnect from the Administration Server check box. The maximum total number of devices with the Do not disconnect from the Administration Server option selected is 300.
The selected executable file is downloaded for further sending to Kaspersky.
