Description: Application Blocking - Ability to BLOCK certain applications from running or even being installed.
Detail: It would be great if ESET could implement a way to block certain applications from running or even being installed. By using the ERA, an Administrator could create a policy that would BLACKLIST (or WHITELIST) certain applications from being installed, launching and/or running as a service.
Symantec Endpoint Protection has this feature and it allows you to block an application from running either by it's application fingerprint or executable name.
With the development of certain applications, such as Dropbox, Chrome, Spotify, etc., that have the ability of being installed under a Standard user's profile which circumvents the need to be an Administrator to install an application, it is becoming more and more difficult for IT administrators to block these type of "rogue" apps from being installed on a computer by standard users. Most of these apps use common ports for outbound and inbound communication so they are not easily blocked using firewall settings.
Hope to see this feature implemented SOON!!
