Default KeyScrambler - a program to help you feel safe on the internet
Hello everyone. I just learned of a new and free program you might want to look into. It is called KeyScrambler. This program scrambles everything you type so that would be hackers / watchers of your computer cannot see what you are typing - i.e. they will not be able to gain your login id's, passwords or other personal information as you type it into to a website.

You must be using Windows 2000, Windows 2003 Server, Windows XP, or Windows Vista.

The reviews overall seem to be good and I feel confident that it will keep those at bay that would try to get at my information.

You can check it out at http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/re...ambler&tabid=1

I'm curious if anyone else has tried it or something similar and what their thoughts are on this type of program.

Thanks for letting me share.

Hi

This is a great resource. I found a version for anyone using Fire fox.

Sorry everyone, this program is free to download and use. It also works with FireFox as well as Internet Explorer.

There are a couple of versions you can pay for, however, the personal program is free.

It is great to see the little scrambler screen as I type this message and know that in the event someone is watching they will be getting nothing but a jumbled mess.
