Best protection against keyloggers?

Canned speech you may find useful:

Here are some simple steps you can take to reduce the chance of infection in the future. I strongly encourage you to do them all.

1. Visit Windows Update:
Make sure that you have all the Critical Updates recommended for your operating system and IE. The first defense against infection is a properly
patched OS.
a. Windows Update: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp
Do this at least once a month.
b. Never add any site to your Trusted Sites Zone.

2) Anti Virus: make sure you have one and keep it updated. Here are some good free ones:

http://majorgeeks.com/download886.html AVG
The top two hands down. Better than Norton or McAfee!
Only run ONE AV!

3) Firewall: if you don't have one get one of these below. The last two are free versions:
Don't care if your on dial up or High Speed....you must have a firewall

4) Get a Temp File/Cookies/index.dat cleaner

5) SpyWare Prevention (These prevent, they are not scanners. Scanners are listed later.)

6) SpyWare Scanners/Removers

Also, look into replacing Microsoft Java with Sun Java and also use Mozilla FireFox in place of Internet Explorer.

 

No! Websites you go to, things you install, things you click on can all drop stuff onto your PC.
