Enabling and disabling Application Startup Control

Although Application Startup Control is disabled by default, you can enable Application Startup Control if necessary.

To enable or disable Application Startup Control in Kaspersky Security Center:

1. Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
2. In the Managed devices folder of the console tree, open the folder with the name of the administration group to which the relevant protected virtual machines belong.
3. In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
4. Select a Light Agent for Windows policy in the list of policies and open the Properties: <Policy name> by double-clicking.
5. In the policy properties window, select the Application Startup Control section in the list on the left.
6. In the right part of the window, do one of the following:
   • To enable Application Startup Control component, select the Application Startup Control check box.
   • To disable Application Startup Control component, clear the Application Startup Control check box.
7. Click the Apply button.

In the local interface of Light Agent for Windows, you can enable or disable a component in two ways:

• On the Protection and Control tab of the main application window.
• From the application settings window.

To enable or disable Application Startup Control on the Protection and Control tab of the main application window:

1. On the protected virtual machine, open the main application window.
2. Select the Protection and Control tab.
3. Open the Endpoint control section.
4. Open the context menu of the Application Startup Control item and perform one of the following actions:
   • To enable Application Startup Control, select Enable in the menu.

     The component status icon, which is displayed on the left in the Application Startup Control line, changes to the icon.

   • To disable the Application Startup Control component, select Disable in the menu.

     The component status icon, which is displayed on the left in the Application Startup Control line, changes to the icon.

   If this menu item is unavailable, this means that you cannot enable or disable this component because the policy-defined setting is applied to protected virtual machines within the administration group.

To enable or disable Application Startup Control from the application settings window:

1. On the protected virtual machine, open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, select the Endpoint control section.
3. In the right part of the window, do one of the following:
   • To enable Application Startup Control component, select the Enable Application Startup Control check box.
   • To disable Application Startup Control component, clear the Enable Application Startup Control check box.

   If this check box is unavailable, this means that you cannot enable or disable this component because the policy-defined setting is applied to protected virtual machines within the administration group.

4. To save changes, click the Save button.
