Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for protecting against malicious content may include intercepting, by a security application installed on the computing device, an original message intended for a target application installed on the same computing device. The original message may include potentially malicious content. The security application may forward the original message to a security service. The computing device may receive a clean message from the security service, wherein the clean message includes a safe representation of the potentially malicious content. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
