Defeat KeyLoggers

First of all we will talk about what are keyloggers, why they are programmed and at last a how to defeat them.

What is KeyLogger?
A program which is used to capture keystrokes that are entered from keyboard.
These keystrokes then saved in a log file, any place on your hard disk. And after that, log file is sen back to the author of the key-logger.

Why they are programmed?
They are basically programmed to get sensitive password of user or credit card numbers, through which they can achieve there goal or get money. Sensitive passwords near me are paypal, ziddu or online banking etc.
Just think for a moment that you are doing a online banking and some one steal you password, you are in big trouble. He/she will transfer money or start doing online shopping.

How to defeat them?
Here you have to use ON-Screen Keyboard. You enter the keys by clicking mouse buttons, so these key are not logged by Keylogger. Windows XP has built-in On Screen Keyboard.

1. Click on start
2. Click on all programs
3. Click on accessories
4. Click on accessibility
5. Click on on-screen keyboard.

Or If you want to use another Virtual keyboard which will do the same trick.
