KeyScrambler: A preventive measure against keyloggers.

Over the past two months, I have been using a piece of software that claims to encrypt your keystrokes when you type and then decrypt them. An example would be when you are entering a password in. The software encrypts your keystrokes and then decrypts them when they get to the destination. This prevents spyware from logging your keystrokes and quite possibly use that password to the spyware writer's advantage.

I am talking about a piece of software called KeyScrambler, made by QFX Software. I had thought about this software before, but thought that it could not possibly do what it claims to do. However, after a bit of research and a test with an actual keylogger, I found that the software works as advertised.

This preventive measure can protect against most kinds of keyloggers because the software is at the kernel level of the operating system, which makes the encryption very hard for keyloggers to bypass.

KeyScrambler comes in three flavors depending on how much you want to encrypt your keystrokes.

The personal variant encrypts your keystrokes in most if not all browsers. This is the variant I am using as I type and it is encrypting my keystrokes.

The Professional variant adds protection in online games, email clients such as Mozilla Thunderbird, IM programs, and Windows Store apps.

The Premium variant gives you all that the Pro variant gives you, but adds protection when you login to Windows, when you use business and finance programs, when you use networking programs, and when you use encryption programs.

By and large, I think that it is a very good piece of software that works as advertised, does not use much in the way of resources, and stays out of the way. Like what I've said about it? learn more about it here.
