By default, when new information about an application is detected in the Kaspersky Security Network database, Kaspersky Endpoint Security applies the control rules downloaded from the KSN database for this application. You can then manually edit the control rules for the application.

If an application was not in the Kaspersky Security Network database when started for the first time, but information about it was added to the database later, by default Kaspersky Endpoint Security automatically updates the control rules for this application.

You can disable downloads of application control rules from the Kaspersky Security Network database and automatic updates of control rules for previously unknown applications.

To disable downloads and updates of application control rules from the Kaspersky Security Network database:

  1. Open the application settings window.
  2. In the left part of the window, in the Endpoint control section, select the Application Privilege Control subsection.

    In the right part of the window, the settings of the Application Privilege Control component are displayed.

  3. Clear the Update control rules for previously unknown applications from KSN databases check box.
  4. To save changes, click the Save button.
