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 protecting electronic money transactions from fraud and malware. An exemplary method include scanning a computer to detect software objects associated with electronic money that includes at least one of a wallet configured to store electronic money, an electronic money generating application, and data including an interaction history with an electronic exchange for electronic money; identifying and adjusting electronic money security modules configured to provide data security to the detected software objects associated with the electronic money; and executing, by the adjusted electronic money security modules, at least one electronic money transaction involving the electronic money. In one aspect, the electronic money security modules include a wallet protection module, a malware detection module, and a traffic control module.

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.

Abstract: A pre-OS security agent runs in an environment independent of the operating system (OS) but interfaced with the file system and able to exchange information with a security application running over the OS. Prior to the start-up of the OS, an indication of a state or condition is obtained relating to a risk of an inability of the security application to function normally, or to a change in the computer system affecting the start-up of the OS. Based on the indication, a set of one or more actions are determined for resolving the state or condition. The pre-OS security agent executes the set of one or more actions in response to the indication.
