Abstract
A mechanism is provided for controlling execution of a computer program. An execution of unallowed software may be prohibited. Structural elements of a graphical user interface of the computer program are detected. The detected structural elements are compared with a stored signature, each signature comprising structural elements of a graphical user interface of allowed computer programs. Upon not finding a matching signature among the stored signatures when comparing, further executing of the computer program is inhibited.
