Abstract: After first installation of an application program on a computing device, the computing devices monitors a behavior of the application program for a period of time and then builds a behavior profile of the application program from the behavior. After the period of time has elapsed, such as specified period of time, the computing device may prevent the application program from deviating from the behavior profile. After the period of time has elapsed, such as when an update or patch to the application program has been applied or installed, the computing device may continue to monitor the behavior of the application program, and in response to determining that the behavior of the application program after the period of time deviates from the behavior profile, perform an action with respect to the application program.
