Thwart Keyboard Logging Attempts With the Virtual Keyboard Interface

You’ve probably know that hackers, your boss or someone else could have installed a spy application that logs all your key entries. From there, “hey” can see everything you type: emails, IMs, URLs, passwords… Lifehacker proposes a simple counter-measure: use a virtual keyboard and voila, the key logger can’t do squat about it.

But that’s not any virtual keyboard. The Virtual Keyboard Interface sends characters directly into web pages edit boxes, without going through the operating system (which is where hackers intercept their stuff from, making Windows’ virtual keyboard vulnerable).
