DEFEATING KEYLOGGERS

To defeat keyloggers, spyware that logs your key strokes, and steals your passwords, do this: Press the Windows key and then the u key on your keyboard. This action takes you to a page from which you launch "on screen keyboard."

Then set your cursor where you want to type and using the on-screen keyboard you mouse-click your password instead of typing it.

Don't use the above sequence! It has come to my attention that mouse clicks are recorded on the clipboard and even mildly sophisticated keyloggers can still intercept them. Mea culpa for my uninformed post. A better way is described here: http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/soups/2006/posters/herley-poster_abstract.pdf
