In response to detecting a form submission event from a browser associated with a user entering data into a form, confidential data is cleared to prevent it being captured by malware. Additional protection of data inputs, entered at a driver level, may be provided as an additional level of protection against hook based malware operating at a virtual keyboard level or operating system level. Data inputs received at a physical driver level may be protected as they pass through a virtual keyboard level and an operating system level. The projection against malware may be provided as a preventive measure that does not require detection of the key logger malware itself.
