An agent application hosted by the computer registers for a notification of a user interface action with an operating system (OS) of the computer. The agent receives notice from the OS of the user interface action and determines if the user interface action is indicative of a data file duplication operation of a source file to a destination file location The Agent compares a property of the source file and a property of the destination file location to a blocking criteria, and blocks the user interface action from reaching the application.
