Microsoft Research has come up with a prototype of what they call "BrowserShield"
Researchers at the Redmond, Wash., company have completed work on a prototype framework called BrowserShield that promises to allow IE to intercept and remove, on the fly, malicious code hidden on Web pages, instead showing users safe equivalents of those pages.
From the article it looks like this is a framework which can be updated with addins, which can protect you against specific attacks. And since this runs before IE gets the HTML, it can modify the HTML that gets delivered to IE. So they may in the future send out updates for BrowserShield, before they actually release a patch, when a critical flaw is found in IE.
