    hi mansoor,
    have you tried to block winzip or winrar on the computers that you want to block from the application control?

    i Sapta,

    I already blocked winzip.exe or winrar.exe.

    But I want to block extension wise like .zip .mp3 .rar .exe .dll .vmx or any others.

     I just put this up on another of the posts. This applies for any and all extensions.
    -----------------
    block moving mp3? Add a new rule under application and device control tab. Under add application control rule set. add a new rule for file and filder attempts. Enter*.mp3 for apply to the following files and folders. Under the actions tab define the actions (block, prevent move etc...)and voila you are done. APply this to the group you desire to apply to
    --------------------

    This is the correct and only way to block extensions, should be in the manual.
