How Application Control Works

Once Application Control starts tracking applications and an application experiences network activity, information about this network activity appears in a window. The type of window that displays depends on the application that requests your sanction to work with the network.

There are applications that are not related to services of the operating system:

And, there are applications that are related to the services of the operating system:

Note: Service applications can have one executable module, and can run services in the process.

In both windows, the Event field describes the type of network operation being executed. The Remote IP and Remote Port (if there is a port), show the IP address and port fields with which the network operation is trying to run.

Both windows also tell the user the program name, vendor, version and executable file path.

If you want to allow the operation of this application or process, click the Allow button. If you want to forbid it, click Block. If you allow this application, it will be registered in the so-called white list. If you block this application, it will be registered in so-called black list.

Every time a white list application shows network activity, Application Control authorizes this application. If the authorization is successful, the application is allowed.
