hi, just thought you may like this tip i found in computer active magazine, instead of using the ordinary key board for typing in your details when paying for things over the net or to access your bank, use the on screen keyboard, they say if you use this no one can see your details as you are not using the ordinary keyboard, to get it go to:start--all programes-- accessories---accessability--then scroll down to on screen key board-------i've just read the thread 'has this ever happened to you'---- good luck, chris.

Linda using a 'virtual' keyboard will block many keyloggers. It's worth knowing if you suspect you are infected with one or if you want to be extra safe. It's no substitute for removing them though. Good tip Chris. Bob
