Anti-keylogger plugin for Microsoft Internet Explorer

A browser plug-in named KeyScrambler released by Florida start-up QFX Software. The Personal edition is free for download at the company's website and it protects all logins against keyloggers. The Professional version of this software provides complete input protection by encrypting everything a user types into a web page, including account numbers, credit card numbers, addresses and phone numbers and even email messages.

If it really does what it claims, this new anti-keylogging tool could be a good addition to the IE users' security. Apparently it protects all login pages by encrypting the user's keystrokes at the kernel driver level, before keyloggers can record them.

I recommend trying out the free version that protects username/password combinations, however if you want it for protecting all the browser text/form fields then you will need to shell-out some $ for the Professional edition of KeyScrambler. At the time of this posting KeyScrambler Professional edition priced at $24.99 (I assume US$).

Remember this is an added layer of security and does not replace up-to-date Anti-Virus and Anti-Spy-Ware software, please always make sure that you have them and use them.
