Software Not Allowed

Description:

This test verifies that the endpoint attempting to connect to your system does not have the software
packages listed installed.

Test Properties

Enter a list of applications that are not allowed on connecting endpoints, separated with a carriage
return. The format for an application is vendor\software package[\version]. Using this format stores
the value in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software key.
For example:
Adobe\Acrobat Reader, Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0
You can also specify which key to use for the specific value by entering the key at the beginning of the
value. For example:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Messenger

How Does this Affect Me?

Some software is generally not appropriate for corporate use, and can create vulnerabilities in your
system, for example, peer-to-peer (P2P) software and instant messenging (IM) software.

What Do I Need to Do?

Remove the software that is not allowed.
