Besides protecting your System additional measures that can be taken
are:
Monitoring what programs are running on your computer
Monitor your network whenever an application attempts to make a
network connection.
Use an automatic form filler program that prevent keylogging since
they're not using the keyboard.

There are commercially available anti-keyloggers, such as
PrivacyKeyboard:
http://www.anti-keylogger.com.
It uses the methods of heuristic analysis and has no signature base.
PrivacyKeyboard's features:
* No signature base;
* Protection against windows text capturing;
* Protection against keystroke logging;
* Protection against clipboard capturing;
* Protection against active window screenshoting;
* Protection against desktop screenshoting;
* Protection against attacks of spy programs;
* Protection against hardware keyloggers;
* Full UNICODE support;
* The ability to work at the background, transparently for the
user
* The ability to disable keyloggers instantly

Problem is you'll have to part with $89.95 ...

but if you're looking for a free alternative try:
- Spybot Search & Destroy, a freeware tool that does a pretty decent
job at detecting all kinds of spyware.

+ Ardamax

In this article:

Alex provides some free and valuable advice about keylogging
protection such as using the on-screen keyboard available in W2000 and
XP that can be launched by executing "osk" or the technique of mouse
highlighting and overwriting.

Or you can also download Click-N-Type virtual keyboard free from:

Also worth reading is Wikipedia's article on Keystroke logging:

Any other ideas for protection against keyloggers?

What exactly stops the malicious program from simply reading the data from
the form?


Very simple: Don't install any.

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.)

This is particularly a problem at my workplace. I cannot trust anyone
here. Unfortunately there are no useful counter-measures other than
using key files on a USB stick, from which you boot, which isn't quite
easy to handle (backups and such), and not quite secure. A
smartcard-based solution would be nice.

But obviously, if there are dozens of computers at your office that
would be Mission Impossible.
As far as I know there are PC & Notebook Security Combination Cable
Locks, which are literally bolted-into your computer's VGA or Serial
port.
It protects your computer with 2 steel bolts that cannot be accessed,
together with a 6'6" steel cable sheathed in black PVC and a included
security plate, that gives you the option of securing the cable to an
area without a convenient attachment point.

Here you can see the specs:

Exactly.


Still the cable can be cut apart to install a logger right inbetween, or
a camera could be installed to intercept my typing. Connected USB
storages may be intercepted through hardware. Or even the entire
Machine could be replaced, while I'm at home sleeping.

So the "security cable lock" is just an anti-lamer measure, just like
unconfigured firewalls are. Someone really interested in my data will
easily get around it.

Hi Hakako,

The best way to stop a key logger is feed the key logger desinformation.
Feed it for example fake logins in fake websites and monitor the logs to
see who is logging in from what ip's with those fake credentials. The
best way to stop key loggers is to catch the people who use them.

Ciao,
Carlo

your ram chips and then reciting the correct incantation at exactly the same
moment the key logger is triggered. I think most business schools have a course
covering this.
