Lock individual applications by process name, using AppLocker


AppLocker is a free tool that locks access to specific applications you can define at will. Preconfigured by an administrator, and facilitated by a process named ‘Black List’, AppLocker prevents execution of undesired processes.

In contrast to other methods of execution prevention, AppLocker does not lock applications by image checksum, certificates, or other airtight methods. Therefore, the lockup is not hermetic.

The main goal of AppLocker is to complement Group Policy by locking certain applications by process name.

AppLocker does not include any Agent or service.
