Specifying a reason when terminating the application or disabling protection components in a local interface

Kaspersky experts do not recommend to unnecessarily terminate the application or disable protection components since in this case protection of the virtual machine and your personal data is exposed to threats.

You can configure a prompt for the reason why the user is terminating the application or disabling protection components in the local interface of Light Agent. The given reason is sent to Kaspersky Security Center as an event together with the corresponding Application successfully stopped or Task stopped events.

You can configure the request for the reason for terminating the application or disabling protection components in the Light Agent for Windows policy properties in the Administration Console, in the Light Agent for Windows local interface, and in the Web Console when creating or editing the Light Agent for Windows policy settings (Application settings → Other settings → Interface).

To configure the request for the reason for terminating the application or disabling protection components in the Administration Console:

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 Light Agent for Windows policy properties window, select the Interface section in the list on the left.

   The local interface settings are displayed in the right part of the window.

6. In the Reasons for disabling section, click the Settings button.

   The Reasons for disabling window opens.

7. Select the check boxes next to the actions for which the user must specify a reason and click OK.
8. Click the Apply button.

Now, when the user attempts to terminate the application or disable protection components in the local interface, the Reason for disabling window will open and require that the user enter the reason for their selected action.

To configure the request for the reason for terminating the application or disabling protection components in the local interface:

1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Other settings section, select Interface.

   The local interface settings are displayed in the right part of the window.

   If the settings in the local interface are not available, this means that you cannot configure a reason prompt because the values of settings defined by the policy are used for all protected virtual machines of the administration group.

3. Complete steps 6–7 of the previous instructions.
4. To save changes, click the Save button.
