Anti-keylogger for Internet Explorer

Amid the recent slew of news of identity thieves worming into our computers with spyware and malware to copy our keystrokes to steal our vital information, here comes some bright news for users of Microsoft Internet Explorer: A browser plugin named KeyScrambler.

The new anti-keylogging tool takes only a minute to download. It is an invaluable addition to the IE users’ computing security for it protects all login pages, not just one or two sites, and it does so by encrypting (or “scrambling”) the user’s keystrokes at the kernel driver level, before keyloggers can record them.

Because traditional anti-spyware and anti-virus programs typically depend on having a known signature of a keylogger before they can detect and remove it, the traditional way of combating keyloggers are ineffective in that they often work after the keyloggers have already stolen the users’ information. KeyScrambler employs a radically different method that works against known and unknown keyloggers. By encrypting the keystrokes at the kernel driver level and decrypting them within the browser itself, KeyScrambler gives keyloggers only indecipherable, encrypted keys to record.
