Protection levels

Some applications use its resources incorrectly that may cause DefencePlus protection system misoperation. According this DefencePlus has a flexible mechanism of protection that ranges protection by low, medium, high, and ultra levels.

• "Low" level allows all application work as usual. Stack (thread local storage) and heap (local storage of the process area) are not protected from attacks at all.

• "Medium" level allows misoperations of the DefencePlus that can be caused by applications which either use stack incorrectly or have an internal errors when working with heap. Stack and of heap has standard level of protection which is quite enough to protect from exploits.

• "High" level allows misoperations of the DefencePlus that can be caused by applications which either use stack incorrectly or have an internal errors when working with heap. Stack is protected totally and heap is protection good (standard level of protection and some additional protective features).

• "Ultra" level allows misoperations DefencePlus that can be caused by applications which either use stack incorrectly have internal errors when working with heap or working with heap incorrectly. Stack is protected totally and heap is protected totally.

Protection level changes takes effect only with new application instances. For example you have launched Microsoft Notepad and it has a "High" protection level. Than you change Microsoft Notepad protection level to "Ultra". All "new" instances of Microsoft Notepad will have "Ultra" protection level. But Microsoft Notepad instance that is currently running still has "High" protection level.
