Systems and methods for automatically making selections in user interfaces
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for automatically making selections in user interfaces, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one computer processor, the method comprising:
- using an endpoint security system installed on the computing device to;
detect, on the computing device, a user interface of an installer of an application, wherein;
the user interface comprises a prompt for a user of the computing device to select between a first option comprising a first installation preference and a second option comprising a second installation preference;
the user interface comprises a pre-populated default selection that pre-selects the second option;
identify a profile for making, on behalf of the user, a predetermined selection of one of the first option and the second option;
determine that the predetermined selection indicates that the first option should be selected on behalf of the user based at least in part on a determination that the second option compromises the security of the computing device;
in response to determining that the profile'"'"'s predetermined selection indicates the first selection, automatically unselect, from the prompt, the second option and select the first option on behalf of the user.

Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for automatically making selections in user interfaces may include (1) detecting, on a computing device, a user interface that comprises a prompt for a user of the computing device to select between a first option and a second option, (2) identifying a profile for making, on behalf of the user, a predetermined selection of one of the first option and the second option, (3) determining that the predetermined selection indicates that the first option should be selected on behalf of the user, and (4) selecting, from the prompt, the first option on behalf of the user. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

17. An endpoint security system for automatically making selections in user interfaces, the endpoint security system comprising:
-
a detection module, stored in memory, that detects, on a computing device, a user interface of an installer of an application, wherein; the user interface comprises a prompt for a user of the computing device to select between a first option comprising a first installation preference and a second option comprising a second installation preference; the user interface comprises a pre-populated default selection that pre-selects the second option; the user interface is displayed on a display element of the computing device; an identification module, stored in memory, that identifies a profile for making, on behalf of the user, a predetermined selection of one of the first option and the second option; a determination module, stored in memory, that determines that the predetermined selection indicates that the first option should be selected on behalf of the user based at least in part on a determination that the second option compromises the security of the computing device; a selection module, stored in memory, that, in response to the determination, automatically unselects, from the prompt, the second option and selects the first option on behalf of the user; at least one physical processor configured to execute the detection module, the identification module, the determination module, and the selection module. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-readable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
use an endpoint security system installed on the computing device to; detect, on the computing device, a user interface of an installer of an application, wherein; the user interface comprises a prompt for a user of the computing device to select between a first option comprising a first installation preference and a second option comprising a second installation preference; the user interface comprises a pre-populated default selection that pre-selects the second option; identify a profile for making, on behalf of the user, a predetermined selection of one of the first option and the second option; determine that the predetermined selection indicates that the first option should be selected on behalf of the user based at least in part on a determination that the second option compromises the security of the computing device; in response to determining that the profile'"'"'s predetermined selection indicates the first selection, automatically unselect, from the prompt, the second option and select the first option on behalf of the user.
