Self-Defense and access restriction
Kaspersky Anti-Virus is an application which protects computers from malware
and, as such, is of interest to malicious software attempting to disable the appli-
cation or even remove it from computers.
Moreover, several people may be using the same computer, all with varying le-
vels of computer literacy. Leaving access to the program and its settings open
could dramatically lower the security of the computer as a whole.
To ensure the stability of your computer's security system, Self-Defense, remote
access defense, and password protection mechanisms have been added to the
program.
On computers running 64-bit operating systems and Microsoft Windows Vista,
self-defense is only available for preventing the program's own files on local
drives and system registry records from being modified or deleted.
To enable Self-Defense:
1. Open the application settings window and select
Service
(see Figure
72).
2. Make the following configurations in the
Self-Defense
box:
Enable Self-Defense
. If this box is checked, the program will protect
its own files, processes in memory, and entries in the system regi-
stry from being deleted or modified.
Disable external service control
. If this box is checked, any remote
administration program attempting to use the program will be
blocked.

access to Kaspersky Anti-Virus, these tools should be added to the
