1. A system for assisting a user conducting a transaction on a secure site of a server to implicitly logoff from the secure site, comprising:

  • the server including;

    a secure transaction protection module that tracks a user'"'"'s access state to the server;

    a database in communication with the secure transaction protection module, for storing data to be accessed by the user;

    an identification module for validating the user'"'"'s access to the database; and

    a notification module for notifying the secure transaction protection module of a user'"'"'s request to initiate a session on the server;

    wherein if the user selects an insecure site while logged on to the secure site of the server, the notification module sends a warning notice to the user to alert the user of an impending logoff from the secure site, and further sends a termination command to the secure transaction protection module for implicitly logging off the user from the secure site; and

    wherein the secure transaction protection module causes the session to be terminated in response to the termination command, absent an instruction from the user to maintain a connection with the secure site.
