  • Publication number: 20070169191
    Abstract: A method and system for detecting a keylogger that encrypts data captured on a computer. One illustrative embodiment acquires a first sample of a portion of a memory of a computer, the portion of the memory being associated with a running process on the computer; inputs to the computer, in a manner that mimics keyboard input, a first data pattern consisting of at least one occurrence of each of a first set of distinct sub-patterns; acquires a second sample of the portion of the memory; compares the first and second samples of the portion of the memory to identify at least one data segment in which the second sample has changed relative to the first sample; and flags the running process as a potential keylogger when the at least one data segment contains a second data pattern matching the overall sub-pattern structure of the first data pattern despite the particular sub-patterns making up the first and second data patterns being different.

  • Publication number: 20070094732
    Abstract: A system and method for reducing false positive indications of pestware on a protected computer is disclosed. In one variation, the method includes tracking activities of a user at the protected computer, monitoring events at the protected computer, identifying events that are potentially indicative of pestware, comparing at least one of the events with at least one of the activities of the user and initiating, in response to the comparing indicating the activities of the user are unconnected with the events, a user prompt that informs the user about the events to enable the user to make a decision relative to managing the events.

  • Publication number: 20060090564
    Abstract: A motion sensor may detect linear and/or angular acceleration and/or angular velocity of a body relative to one axis, two orthogonal axes or three orthogonal axes. Movement of the body or reference structure may be detected relative to one or more spinning rotors. The rotor(s) may be suspended for rotation and/or other movement relative to the reference structure without physical contacting the reference structure. In one embodiment, the rotor(s) may be electrostatically suspended in such a way that movement of the rotor(s) relative to the reference structure may be detected.

  • Publication number: 20060000753
    Abstract: This invention is directed to the use of non-sulfur containing compounds as collectors in the froth flotation of certain mineral sulfide and metallic compounds. These non-sulfur-containing compounds may be from natural sources, such as vegetable oils, or synthesized commercial sources. These non-sulfide collectors can be used singularly, in combinations, and in mixtures with known commercial sulfur containing collectors. These non-sulfur-containing collectors are compatible with common frothers.
