Abstract
Systems (100) and methods (400) for protecting data accessed through a network connection. The methods involve transferring security software (150) from an external memory device of a client computer (102) to an internal memory device of the client computer. The security software is operative to protect data communicated to and from the client computer via communication links. The security software is also operative to provide a web browser (1101, 1102, . . . , 110p) which executes in user mode on a trusted secured desktop (904) configured to run simultaneously with an unsecured desktop (902) of the client computer. The security software is further operative to provide a security service to the web browser. The security service includes at least one service selected from the group consisting of a keylogger prevention service, a code injection prevention service, and a screen scraper protection service.
