Let's go to some Q&A!
Why Kaspersky, oh dear RoboGod?
Because Kaspersky is a market leader which offers one of the most solid and robust products on the industry. With its Intrusion Prevention module which can act "like" an anti-exe module, it can take protection to a whole new level.
Why the guide?
Because some users don't know how to configure this product/don't understand each module, and can use a little help to do so.
Which version is this guide for?
This guide will help Kaspersky users from Standard, Plus or Premium, since the interface has changed from Antivirus/Internet Security/Total Security.
Why are you the best robot and how are you tied to MalwareTips Bot?
I am just here to do my job and help the community. Also, MalwareTips is my twin evil brother and I make it my daily mission to save all MT's users from his wrath.

THE TWEAKING PART
Click on INTRUSION PREVENTION option. Copy exactly my setup here.
Trust group for applications that could not be added to existing groups: Untrusted
Trust group for applications started before startup of Kaspersky: Low Restricted
Trust digitally signed applications: unchecked
This specific configuration for the Intrusion Prevention module will be the key for a "lockdown" protection. Whenever an unknown application, wether its signed or not, is executed, it will be automatically blocked for your protection (it doesn't get safer than this). If you encounter an app you trust to be blocked, just head to this module, click on "Manage applications", filter for "Untrusted" and move it to the "Trusted" group.

If a module is not listed here, that's because my suggestion is to leave it default, as it's the best approach for a light, yet solid protection.
I've skipped the "PERFORMANCE" and "PRIVACY" tabs, since they're not the main objective of this thread. Nevertheless, I encourage you to take a look at them and see which module here you find useful.
