How to block an application from being installed

[matt20687 0]

Hey,

 

We have just bought Eset Endpoint AV and so far so good, just finishing off the policies and got to a point where on Sophos we block a few applications. Skype for one is a example of this. Now on Sophos there was a pre-populated blacklist of applications that you could keep blacklisted or instead whitelisted.

 

My question is, with Eset I cannot seem to see a way to block an application unless it is already installed on a users computer. Is that the case?

 

Thanks,

Matt

There's no application control in ESET's products yet. You can create HIPS rules for existing applications with a full path to them. Perhaps you could consider using AppLocker for controlling applications.
