  • Patent number: 9317701
    Abstract: A system/method for preventing a computer virus from accessing message addresses is described. The system comprises an interception component or client plug-in that communicates with a messaging client and a messaging server. The interception component alters messages from the server and destined for the client. The interception component replaces message addresses in incoming messages with a unique identifier. The interception component also alters messages from the client destined for the server. The interception component replaces a unique identifier with a message addresses. A system/method for preventing keyboard sniffer programs from intercepting input, a system for preventing a computer virus from activating a send confirmation of a messaging client and a method for altering displayed objects to show encrypted data in decrypted form are also described and claimed. A system/method for reducing the impact of keyboard sniffer programs by altering keyboard input.

  • Patent number: 8806622
    Abstract: A method of determining whether a page is a fraudulent page comprising the steps of: extracting a plurality of tokens from the page, (403) for each token, calculating a token probability being the probability of the token being in a fraudulent page (404), using the calculated token probabilities, calculating a page probability being the probability of the page being a fraudulent page (405), wherein the token probability of a token being in a fraudulent page is calculated based on a number of fraudulent pages and a number of non-fraudulent pages which contain the token from a training corpus of fraudulent pages and non-fraudulent pages.

  • Patent number: 7779062
    Abstract: A method and system is provided for securing user entry data against keyboard login attempts. The method/system masks user input data, either insulating the data from vulnerable parts of the operating system or application, or contaminating user data that is supplied to those vulnerable parts of the operating system or application. The method/system securely stores data, either intercepted prior to reaching the vulnerable parts of the operating system or extracted from the contaminated data, and securely provides the data directly to a verified application.
