See full text

A computer-implemented method for treating locally created files as trustworthy may include identifying at least one file created on a computing system protected by a security system that determines whether files encountered by the computing system are trustworthy. The method may also include identifying a software application used to create the file on the computing system. The method may further include determining that the software application used to create the file on the computing system comprises a reputable software application used to create trustworthy files within a user community comprising users of computing systems protected by the security system. In addition, the method may include establishing a trustworthiness exception that causes the security system to treat the file as trustworthy on the computing system that created the file. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
