The Application control feature included in Panda allows you to configure which programs installed on your computer may or may not be executed.
With the Application control feature, a secure and closed environment is set. Thus, it is an ideal extra layer of protection against zero-day threats. The Application control not only allows you to configure which programs can be run on your computer, but it also allows you to set the actions to be carried out when an unknown program attempts to install itself. Thus, the application control may directly block the program execution or ask for confirmation before proceeding with the installation.
