Dear friends,
after having learnt about the hacking, and the key-logger softwares, I was very very careful about the strings i use as passwords.
but, the other day, when I learnt that security cams also can be hacked, using a special code, into the search box of google, I was more afraid. I started to read a lot about the hacking world.
And, you will be surprised that I have found out that using a special software for editing cookies, one can enter into your personal website also.
now, IF you are careless about the usage of online banking accounts, ... GOD SAVE YOU.
you NEED TO activate your on screen keyboard, for doing any sensitive transactions.
AND, such software is already in your windows. read more about this in the link here: [b] http://adf.ly/2P1y
simply put, it is like this:
On the Start menu:
•
Point to All Programs.
•
Point to Accessories.
•
Point to Accessibility.
•
Select On-Screen Keyboard.
Note A message box with a link to more information about the On-Screen Keyboard may appear. To close the box, select OK.

Thank you for the information. Now I will always use a screen board every time I use a password. I also use deepfreeze. So anytime I suspiciously attacking my pc or a virus. I simply restart. And so everything is deleted and so the cookies. Once again. Thanks.

But, mostly it is the same, as in medicine world. "Prevention is always better than CURE"... SO, thankyou for coming over, and listening.

This is a very good discussion by you. Thanks for highlighting this up. I'm going to take note of the instructions and using on-screen keyboard for future sensitive transactions. I think this is believable, because hackers are always looking for ways and means to break that barrier, and go one step notch ahead. Thanks for sharing this once again.

about the rating stuff. it pains that I am losing .. just because I have been harsh sometimes.
and, it is really surprising, that, given the wonderful opportunities, online and offline, .. for developing all the wonderful things to help the mankind, .. these kiddos .. venture into the wrong side of the law.... alas.
Sweetie, i have been hacked three times already. 
But, i have a very big surprise for the next one. 
I hate when that happens. TATA.@consultrainer (4992)

I have heard numerous pieces of advice over the years concerning security, which is always a subject that computer users should take seriously. The advice is normally pretty much the same and covers such basics as varying passwords or compiling alphanumeric ones etcetera. This is the first time that I have heard the suggestion of using the onscreen keyboard to counter key loggers.
I have to confess that this is not only original but an excellent idea. I doubt if I will go to such lengths, but I am very impressed with the approach.

ha, i MISSED the best response, as this is one topic that I started. Had it been your topic, i MIGHT have made a very good ranking, and you should have given me a plus rating too. along with some sweets and a wonderful Best Response award.
I miss the best responses these days. And, unfortunately, after I made friends with you, rich, diana, sweet candy, and the lot, .. I am losing my rating.
anyhow, you are right about the human tendency. Have you checked the on screen keyboard? Activate it now!

This advice is nice trainer..On-screen keyboard is really helpful! It's not only keylogger softwares track your passwords. Those that use a public PC, those that are rented on web cafes are also hacked for passwords. Sometimes there are gadgets that are connected to the keyboard port and then connected to the keyboard, that gadget records the keys used on a session.
There are sites that offer already the on-screen keyboard for those that doesn't know how to use the default on-screen keyboard of Windows. Sites where I saw on-screen keyboards are Neobux and Liberty Reserve, I'm not aware of other sites that offer the like.
