How to get rid of Keylogger ?

There are number of techniques that save you from Keylogging in your computer. I am sharing some of best practices used to get rid of Keylogger,

• You can use virtual keyboard on the place of physical keyboard for typing your confidential credentials. Windows contain virtual keyboard pre-installed in it.Most of banks are providing virtual keyboards by default in login screen. You can access windows virtual keyboard by,
  Accessories --> Ease of Access --> On-screen keyboard.
• Another way is to use a software, that encrypt your keys pressed through physical keyboard, i use KeyScrambler Personal for this purpose. Most of time antivirus are enough to remove keyloggers but some time, they successfully bypass antivirus check. KeyScrambler encrypts keystrokes on keyboard driver level and decrypt them, when they reach your browser. you can use its pro and premium version for business use.
• Windows provide pre-installed firewall but in older versions (older than Windows 8), firewall is not that much effective, so it is a better choice to use a firewall other than Windows firewall. I recommend you to use ZoneAlarm free firewall.
