TECHNIQUES FOR DISPLAYING WARNINGS ABOUT POTENTIALLY PROBLEMATIC SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS

This Application sets forth techniques for displaying warnings when potentially problematic software applications are launched on computing devices. According to some embodiments, a computing device can implement the steps of (1) maintaining a probabilistic data structure that is based on a plurality of software application assets that have been flagged as problematic, (2) installing a software application that is comprised of at least one software application asset, (3) identifying, by interfacing with the probabilistic data structure and a management entity, that the at least one software application asset has in fact been flagged as problematic, (4) assigning, to the software application, an informational package that is received from the management entity and that pertains to the at least one software application asset, and (5) displaying, in association with launching the software application, a user interface that is derived, at least in part, from the informational package.
