Abstract

A system for preventing a computer virus from accessing message addresses is described. The system comprises an interception component that communicates with a messaging client and a messaging server. The interception component receives messages from the server and forwards messages to the client. Before forwarding messages to the client the interception component replaces message addresses with a unique identifier. The interception component also receives messages from the client and forwards messages to the server. Before forwarding messages to the server the interception component replaces a unique identifier with a message addresses. Also described is a system for preventing keyboard sniffer programs from intercepting input and a system for preventing a computer virus from activating a send confirmation of a messaging client.
