How to enable Trusted Applications mode

To enable Trusted Applications mode:

  1. Open the main application window.
  2. In the lower part of the main window, click the More Tools button.

    The Tools window opens.

  3. Go to the Manage applications section.
  4. Click the Trusted Applications mode link to open the Trusted Applications mode window.
  5. Select one of the options to enable Trusted Applications mode:
    • In the Trusted Applications mode window, click the Enable button.

      Kaspersky Internet Security begins operating in Trusted Applications mode. When this option is selected, Kaspersky Internet Security allows running applications that had been installed on your computer before Trusted Applications mode became active.

    • Click the Turn on and scan all installed applications link to start analysis of the operating system, after which Trusted Applications mode is enabled.

      This runs analysis of the operating system and installed applications, except for temporary files and resource dynamic link libraries that contain executable code. The progress of the analysis is displayed in the Analysis of installed applications window that opens. You can minimize the Analysis of installed applications window.

      1. Wait until the analysis of the operating system and installed applications completes and view information about the results of analysis.
      2. If the analysis detects system files about which there is insufficient information available, the application notifies you about this. You can view a list of these files in the Unknown system files window. If these files are known to you and you want to work with them in Trusted Applications mode, allow startup of these files. To do this, click the Allow and continue button.
      3. If the analysis detects applications and modules about which there is insufficient information available, Kaspersky Internet Security notifies you about this. You can view a list of these applications and modules in the Unknown applications and modules window. If you want to allow startup of these applications and modules, in the Unknown applications and modules window, move the switch in the Start column opposite the application or module to the Allowed position.
      4. Click the Enable Trusted Applications mode button.

      Trusted Applications mode is now enabled. Kaspersky Internet Security will block all applications and system files that have not been classified as trusted, except the ones that you have allowed. After you enable Trusted Applications mode and restart the operating system for the first time, unknown applications are allowed to start until Kaspersky Internet Security starts. After later restarts of the operating system, Kaspersky Internet Security blocks unknown applications from starting.
