Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for protecting users may include (i) displaying, through a graphical user interface for a third-party security application executing within an operating system environment, a button for a user to select, (ii) displaying, through the graphical user interface, a prompt that prompts the user to select the button in order to receive a reward, (iii) configuring the graphical user interface such that selecting the button triggers both a conspicuous response that provides access to the reward and a more hidden response that initiates application of a security service to protect the user, and (iv) performing, based on receiving a selection of the button, both the conspicuous response and the more hidden response. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
