Use the Critical Settings page to specify a list of applications to protect.

The Applications and Extensions pane presents a list of applications and file extensions. Select the applications that you want to continuously protect.

The list of applications has the following views:

View by Ranking

The applications that have the greatest quantity of files on your computer are presented at the start of the list. The applications that have the least quantity of files on your computer are presented at the end of the list.

View Alphabetically

The applications are presented in alphabetical order.

If you select a checkbox, all file extensions that are associated with that application are added to the list of protected files.

If you clear a checkbox, all files with that extension are removed from the list of protected files. Removing file extensions from the list of protected files does not add those files to the list of files that are explicitly excluded from protection.

You can add files to be protected in the Critical Settings page, but these applications are protected only if the files are not explicitly excluded. For more information, see Including and excluding files from protection.
