Add an application to block

  1. Open the Không chế ứng dụng (Application blocking) tab and click Add (+). The Cấm những ứng dụng (Block applications) dialog opens.
  2. Choose Kiểu cấm (block type):
    • Cấm ứng dụng theo tên file: block by file name, e.g. netcut.exe.
    • Cấm ứng dụng theo giá trị nội dung của file: block by file content, so it is still blocked if renamed.
  3. In Chọn ứng dụng (choose application), type the file name or click 🔍 to pick the file.
  4. Add a Mô tả (description) if needed and click Thêm (Add). Click Đóng (Close) when done.

Edit or unblock

  • Edit: select the application, click Edit (✎), change it, click Thêm to save.
  • Unblock: select it, click Delete (✕), then Yes.
