[EDITING] Application Filters

An application filter defines the applications (groups of files) that can be restricted by an Application Control Policy. There are three types of filters - Dynamic, File and Inventory.  They, along with their subtypes are listed below:

• Dynamic Filters - These filters are evaluated by the Altiris Agent and are used to apply security policies to applications not yet discovered but commonly used or downloaded. [[Change to "These filters are evaluated when an application is launched and do not require a specific application to target."]]
