This is, surely, the most important part. Don't install software that you
don't trust. If you think there's malware (a keylogger) on your machine
then in theory there's nothing you can to do protect against keylogging.
Sure, there's stuff you can do with real software that works against real
key-loggers, but in theory once you've run malware that machine is hosed
and you should flatten and re-install.

You didn't seem to mention hardware loggers. These are small, hard to
notice, and hard to protect against, but they require physical access to
the machine. You only need a few moments to unplug a keyboard and connect
the doo-hickey.
The one I've read about (keyghost or something similar??) couldn't handle
the shifted character that -on my keyboard- is next to the 1 key. "¬" (I
don't know how well that's going to make it through Usenet.) |
