Some apps, like "Skype Meetings App" and "Join.me" surrepticiously copy themselves to your applications folder without asking or even so much as a notification.

How can this be prevented?

Isn't this a fairly large security hole in macOS... What is to stop a virus from using the same opportunity in the system?

In many cases, the app can be prevented from surreptitiously moving itself by setting the "Locked" switch (bit) in the Finder.

Case in point:

and now Join.me does not relocate itself without my permission or knowledge.
