System Profile Creation

Index | << Previous | Next >>

In order to ensure the best possible protection, SafenSoft SysWatch automatically creates and adjusts System Profiles the first time it is run. If the computer is restarted or switched off before the end of this automatic adjustment process, it will continue from the point at which it was stopped when the system is powered back on. After the automatic adjustment is successfully completed, SafenSoft SysWatch Extended Mode is activated, which enables you to:

•	Classify all installed applications into trusted/known and potentially harmful/unknown categories.

•	Execute unknown applications in a sandbox and automatically block any malicious activities.

•	Reduce the need for user interaction when a decision needs to be made about an application launch.

System Profile creation consists of the following steps:

•

Update automatic adjustment components via the Internet. If an Internet connection is unavailable, existing components are used.

•

Search and collect information about all executable files (exe, com, dll, etc.)

•

Identification of executable files

•

Define rules for application execution:

•	Trusted or known application

•	Restricted application.

•	Blocked application (execution is prohibited).

•	Scan application files for malware

Running in Extended Mode, SafenSoft SysWatch tracks new or unknown applications (those not present in the System Profile), blocks harmful actions, and notifies of any suspicious activities.

NOTE

The time taken to create the System Profile depends on the amount of software installed on the system. It is recommended that you minimize the SysWatch interface to the Windows task bar and continue to work while this process is completed

NOTE

You can update the System Profile as necessary. For example, the profile should be updated whenever a significant change is made to the system, such as attaching an external storage device that contains executable files. Simply update then System Profile when the device is connected; after the update is completed, the applications on the storage device will be considered known and trusted.

IMPORTANT

Do not install or update software during an automatic adjustment, as SysWatch will be unable to add new or changed software to the System Profile. You can update or add new software to the System Profile by launching it in install mode.
