SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BLOCKING ELEMENTS OF APPLICATION INTERFACE

摘要

A method, system and computer program product for blocking access to restricted elements of application interface and covering the restricted elements by trusted interface elements. The system includes an analyzer module, a database of restricted elements and a blocking module. The analyzer module is configured to detect interface elements of an active application rendered on a computer or a mobile device. The analyzer module determines if an application interface element is restricted by comparing the application interface element against the known restricted interface elements from the database. If the restricted element is detected, the analyzer module sends the data about the restricted element to the blocking module. The blocking module covers the restricted interface element by a trusted interface element or by an image.

1. A computer-implemented system for blocking interface elements, the system comprising:
a processor; an application running on the processor; an analysis module executing on the processor, the analysis module configured to determine interface elements that need to be blocked based on (i) a system log, (ii) whether the application belongs to known or suspected malware, and (iii) reputation of the interface elements, including the category of the application to which the interface elements belong; a database storing restricted interface elements that are identified as such prior to the application being launched, wherein the restricted interface elements permit interaction from a user and are first rendered by the application prior to being blocked; and a blocking module configured to block the determined interface elements by overlaying the determined interface element with another trusted interface element after the application attempts to render the restricted interface elements.
