does file reputation system blocks unknown application?

[Slithereen Guard 0]

ESET has live grid that is a file reputation system.

 

 

i want to know what happens when ESET encounters unknown files.

Does it stop that application from running?

Does ESET asks user to allow/block unknown applications from running.

Nothing will happen only because a file is not known. There are other sophisticated mechanisms in place to determine if a file is malicious than just by judging from whether it's known or not.
