Abstract
A computer-implemented method for automatically adding an Internet domain to a blacklist based on monitored activities of an application is described. An application running on a client computing device is analyzed to determine whether the application is a malware application. The execution of the application is terminated when the application connects to an Internet domain. The Internet domain is added to a blacklist. A notification is transmitted that indicates the Internet domain is blacklisted.
