block application by policy

[Faizan Siddiuqi 1]

Hi, how can we block application by extension as well as name policies?

we are using 

ESET Security Management Center (Server), Version 7.1 (7.1.503.0)
ESET Security Management Center (Web Console), Version 7.1 (7.1.393.0)

ESET Endpoint Antivirus 7.0

We kindly ask you not to push us into answering your queries the instant you post them.

What you can do is to use HIPS to block execution of an application with a specific path. It's not possible to block execution of all executable files in a folder (or multiple folders) with one HIPS rule.

can we add wildcards or Windows environment variables in file path in ESET HIPS rules?

No, wildcards are not supported in HIPS file path rules, only in registry paths. Variables are not supported either.
