Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for creating program-specific execution environments may include (1) identifying a privileged software program to be executed on a client system in a program-specific execution environment, (2) establishing the program-specific execution environment by (a) determining that at least one process executing on the client system is not essential to operation of the privileged software program to be executed on the client system and (b) suspending execution of the non-essential process in response to identifying the non-essential process, and (3) initiating execution of the privileged software program in the program-specific execution environment. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
