    A patent was recently published by Lloyd Liske which in my view is a serious game changer in the online anti-virus war.
    The document is titled "System and Method for Protecting Against Malware Utilizing Key Loggers" and describes a software,
    system and methodology for protecting against malware key logger attacks that utilize, for example, form-grabbing techniques.
    The application protects the browser from key logging malware attacks, and the loss of critical user confidential information often entered
    into internet forms for the purpose of buying items or logging into financial institutions. An embodiment of a method for blocking form-grabbing
    attacks includes the following steps. Upon detecting a form submission event from the browser, and immediately after allowing the data to be properly submitted,
    the form input fields are cleared of data. The method prevents hook-based key loggers or form-grabbing key loggers from capturing form input data, thereby protecting
    the user from theft of passwords or credentials.

    This document is a rather impressive read as it effectively locks down the entire anti-keylogger market as this patent's description incorporates all known methods of
    anti-keylogging including MITB attacks. After investigating the Trusted Knight Website it's clear that this company intends to use this patented technology to offer anti-fraud
    solutions for Financial Institutions.

    With such a patent in existence one must wonder what a Company such as Trusteer will do next as it appears they are infringing on Trusted Knight intellectual property. According to the abstract posted by the World Intellectual Property Organization: "A software, system and methodology for protecting against malware key logger attacks that utilize, for example, form-grabbing techniques. The application protects the browser from key logging malware attacks, and the loss of critical user confidential information often entered into internet forms for the purpose of buying items or entering data.
