Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for controlling execution of programs on a computer. An exemplary method includes detecting an unknown program installed on a computer; identifying undesirable actions performed by the unknown program on the computer, wherein the undesirable actions include at least one of: actions performed by the program without knowledge of a user, actions for accessing personal user data on the computer, and actions effecting user's working with other programs or operating system of the computer determining whether the unknown program is undesirable or not based on the identified undesirable actions of the program; when the unknown program is determined be undesirable, prompting the user to select whether to allow or prohibit execution of the undesirable program on the computer; and when the unknown program is determined not to be undesirable, allowing execution of the unknown program on the computer.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for controlling installation of programs on a computer. An exemplary system is configured to detect installation of an unknown program on a computer; suspend installation of the unknown program; execute the unknown program in a secure environment; detect undesirable actions of the unknown program, including: actions performed by the program without knowledge of a user, actions for accessing personal user data on the computer, and actions effecting user's working with other programs or operating system of the computer; determine whether the unknown program is undesirable or not based on the detected undesirable actions of the program; when the unknown program is determined be undesirable, prompt the user to select whether to allow or prohibit installation of the undesirable program on the computer; and when the unknown program is determined not to be undesirable, allow installation of the unknown program on the computer.
