Abstract
Systems and methods for selective authorization of dependent code modules are provided. According to one embodiment, file system or operating system activity relating to a first code module is initiated by a running process associated with a second code module. The file system or operating system activity is intercepted by a kernel mode driver of a computer system. The kernel mode driver selectively authorizes loading of the first code module by the running process based at least in part on one or more attributes of the second code module.
