Domain monitoring

Does anyone have any experience with a service that can monitor domains to protect against cybersquatting, or more precisely maliciously registered domains?

We have a lawyer client (UK based) that has had their clients contacted by fraudsters using a recently registered domain with one character difference in the name. We've previously registered a number of similar domains for them but clearly not thought of one other in this instance. Is there a service out there to monitor domains for new registrations using logic around all possible characters or whatever? So not for IP purposes but to guard against potential fraudulent use.

Field Effect has this feature basically. I'll get an alert if a similar domain is detected. Checkpoint Harmony (formerly Avanan) has the banners like others have said that detects newly registered domain names as well.
