key logger
I just had an idea, does it make sense that you could confuse key loggers by when you are going to enter your password, enter the wrong password, then back space and enter the correct one. My theroy is that the key logger is just going to show all the key strokes, so it would be harder to know which of the two passwords are correct. Or is it more likely that whoever is using the key logger would simply use both the incorrect then the correct password.
Also, encryption wouldn't work would it? because encryption is only when sending a password, correct? For instance, could you encrypt keystrokes?
Just wondering.

thank you for your thoughts.
I wonder how the key scrambler mentioned manages to get the keys "first". Why wouldn't a keylogger be able to say "first let me record the typing, then I'll pass it on to keyscrambler"? Both work with filter drivers, I suppose. How will the hierarchy be determined?
Todor, do you know that?

There are some on screen keyboards that claim to be keylogger-proof, but I would not be totally content hat they really are. Best would be to start an extra system used only for those transactions that are security sensitive and not for surfing the web or installing all kinds of software.
