Abstract
A computer-implemented method for blocking and removing Internet-traversing malware may include: 1) identifying a persistent storage object of an Internet client application, 2) identifying an attempt by an executable object to access the persistent storage object, 3) determining that the executable object is not authorized to access the persistent storage object, and then 4) performing a security action based on the determination. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
