Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for limiting the operation of trusted applications in presence of suspicious programs. An example method includes: identifying one or more trusted applications installed on a computer; collecting data about applications and programs installed on the computer; checking for the presence of one or more suspicious programs using suspicious program detection rules, wherein a program is considered to be suspicious when it can access protected information of a trusted application without authorization; and when at least one suspicious program is found, limiting the operation of the trusted application until the suspicious program is terminated or removed from the computer.
