There is no undo when you're giving access to information.

This malware reads your passwords and sends them to a remote server. How would you block it?

Because since the only way that a program can have access to information is by explicitly handing that info to the program from another program the only place you enter a password is on your login screen.

Login password perhaps (at least plain text version of it), but account info (including cookies) in a browser for example would be accessible, as well as anything on disk.

>anything on disk

Not if the file system is isolated per app as I said.
