Hide Your Key Strokes From Keylogger

Are you using the PC of your friend or from Internet Cafes, then you could be a target for those who are behind you to steal you personal information, passwords and credit card details. And mostly all these information is ripped from the PC with help of key loggers which record all your key stokes whether its in word or you typing your password everything is either stored in unknown destination in PC or mailed to a predefined email. And its all in a fraction, you loose everything. So incase you happen to use a strange PC do keep in mind to type the sensitive information with the following two tools.

Neo’s SafeKeys is a small program that helps to defeat keyloggers on unsecure computer terminals (such as Internet Cafes).It is a custom-made tool that allows for you to mouse-click your password on an on-screen keyboard.



You type your password by clicking each button on the keyboard of this application (with your mouse). Your password will appear, letter by letter, in the text box at the bottom of the window (within a “******” password mask). Select the text with your mouse and then drag-drop it onto the password box on your online form. That’s it!

Alternatively you may use Online Keyboard which work the same way as Neo’s Safekeys. Virtual Keyboard is the great thing when you can’t install or use additional keyboard layouts bundled with your OS. For example, you’re at the internet cafe where only En/US layout is available and you want to write some letters to your Russian, Korean, Japanese or any other friends. Yes, you can just transliterate your writing, but this will take much more time than you ever expect and makes reading boring.

This is the case to have the VirtualKeyboard installed on a site: you just open it and begin typing. Virtual keyboard will do the translation/transliteration job for you on the fly. The same goes to the search engines, forums, webmail systems and much other online and offline applications. It makes a sense, to integrate tiny app there and make life easier for you and your customers.
