KeyScrambler won't run in IE gv 10-31-2007

Hi,

I installed KeyScrambler 1.3.1 via FireFox extensions, and checked the
box to add the Internet Explorer (IE) plugin too. It works in Firefox,
but there's not indication it's running in IE.

I then went to the home page for KeyScrambler, and installed 1.3.2 for
both Firefox and IE. Again, it works in Firefox, but not in IE. The
KeyScrambler page shows the window I'm supposed to be seeing in IE.
The FAQ says nothing about any problems with the product actually
working in IE. (The page I went to to test it was Yahoo Mail - the
personal free version of KeyScrambler only becomes active on login
type pages.)

Thanks for any help getting KeyScrambler working in IE.

This is comp.security.misc. At the name implies, we're discussing computer
security. Neither this KeyScrambler snakeoil nor the
often-abused-as-webbrowser IE have anything to do with security.

"This" is a crossposted message. :-(

Indeed. From the website:

[quote]
KeyScrambler Personal encrypts your keystrokes at the kernel driver level
to protect your login information from keyloggers.

When you type on your keyboard, the keys travel along a path within the
operating system before it arrives at your browser. Keyloggers plant
themselves along this path and observe and record your keystrokes. The
collected information is then sent to the criminals who will use it to
steal from you.

Any computer that has a keylogger on it is hosed. The user would need to
wipe the disk and reinstall their OS.

Woah, not so fast. Wiping the user account and all programs he had access to
should be sufficient.

Unless the user has administrative privileges, which is the usual case.

Security is the one concept, which makes things in your life stay as
they are. Otto is a man, who is afraid of changes in his life; so
naturally he does not employ security.
