Method and apparatus for intercepting or cleaning-up plugins

摘要

The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for intercepting or cleaning-up plugins. The methods may include: obtaining performance attributes of a plugin; determining if the plugin meets a performance criterion based on the obtained performance attributes and empirical data; and intercepting or cleaning-up the plugin if the plugin does not meet the performance criterion. In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, the performance attributes of a plugin can be evaluated to determine whether the plugin meets a preset performance criterion, and the plugin can then be processed according to the result of the determination.

1. A method for intercepting or cleaning-up a plugin, implemented by a user terminal including at least one processor and a storage medium, the method comprising:
monitoring activity of a plugin on the user terminal, wherein the monitored activity includes installing, loading, and running of the plugin; identifying the plugin by comparing the monitored activity with plugin characteristics in a plugin signature database located in the storage medium of the user terminal; when the plugin is identified, obtaining performance attributes of the plugin from a local empirical database located in the storage medium of the user terminal or a cloud empirical database located at a server, the server being configured to store data and communicate with the user terminal over a network; when the plugin is not identified, evaluating performance attributes of the plugin by the user terminal; determining whether the plugin meets a performance criterion based on the performance attributes; and intercepting or cleaning-up the plugin on the user terminal if the plugin does not meet the performance criterion.
