Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for issuing proactive parental control alerts may include (i) monitoring, through a sensor of the computing device, sensor data indicating an emotional state of a child consuming media content through the computing device, (ii) detecting, through analyzing the sensor data, that the media content has triggered an adverse emotional state within the child, and (iii) performing a security action, in response to detecting that the media content has triggered the adverse emotional state within the child, by issuing an alert in connection with a parental control software system that controls access by the child to media content. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A mobile computing device is infected by malware which blocks access to the infected device by an authorized user. A download and installation request is generated from another device and sent to a third-party service via the internet to allow a first instance of a mobile device security application to be downloaded and installed on the infected device. A second instance of the same mobile device security application is also downloaded and installed on a clean device, with the first and second instances of the mobile device security application being covered under a single license. An instruction is generated on the mobile device security application on the clean device and transmitted to the infected device. Based on the received instruction, the mobile device security app is initiated and at least one access setting is modified on the infected device to enable user access.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for utilizing custom tagging to protect against phishing attacks from malicious applications may include (1) associating a tag with a source application such that the tag is displayed in a user interface generated by the source application (2) launching a target application sharing at least one common feature with the source application, (3) determining, upon launching the target application, whether a user interface generated by the target application is an attack by a malicious application potentially causing harm to the computing device based on a presence or absence of the tag in the user interface, and (4) performing a security action with respect to the target application to protect the computing device from the attack when the tag is determined be absent from the user interface generated by the target application. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for enforcing secure shared access on computing devices by content state pinning may include (1) receiving, from a user, a selection of a content view to be shared with an additional user from content displayed on a computing device by an application, (2) associating, by the computing device, a change event with the content view, (3) detecting, by the computing device, the change event in response to an action by the additional user to change the content view, and (4) performing, by the computing device, a security action to protect the computing device from potentially malicious activity associated with the action by the additional user to change the content view. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for preventing sensitive data sharing may include a computing device determining that a content item is to be shared with an application. The content idem may be intercepted before the content item is shared with the application. The data of the content item may be analyzed. In response to analyzing the data of the content item, a security action may be performed to protect the computing device from computer malware or prevent sharing of sensitive data of the computing device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
