KeyScrambler Personal 3.12.0.1

Overview

KeyScrambler Personal is a browser plugin that protects your personal data by encrypting your keystrokes. It integrates deeply within the system, at the keyboard driver level, and is extremely difficult for keyloggers to overcome. Keyloggers, in this case, if present on your computer, would only be able to capture the ineligible gibberish encrypted by KeyScrambler. KeyScrambler technology has been tested and is being tested on an ongoing basis by programmers and tech wizards, and the online reviews are excellent. The powerful algorithms encrypt your keystrokes as you type, and decrypt them as they reach their destination.

KeyScrambler comes in three versions – Personal, which is free for personal use, Pro $29.99 for three PCs, and Premium $44.99 for up to three computers.

Installation

KeyScrambler Personal installs politely, bringing no apparent third party software, bundles and toolbars. The wizard asks you if you would like to check for the latest version of the software before it proceeds with installation. It will require a reboot after the installation is finished.

KeyScrambler supports Windows 8, 7, 2003, XP, Vista both 32 and 64 bit systems. It also supports encryption of Asian languages: Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

Interface

Zero learning curve, zero maintenance, zero interference with your system settings, almost zero customization and 0.5% GUI – KeyScrambler lives in your Taskbar. You can open its window by right-clicking on the icon, and see the scarce customization options. There is no GUI as such, and not much to customize, either. You can set the KeyScrambler’s notification window float in a specific position above your browser. When you launch your browser, you will see an unobtrusive green area that displays the real-time encryption of any keystrokes that reach your browser. You can also enter the customization window from there by clicking on the settings icon. That’s it for the GUI department. There is not much to learn or master here – it is easy for novice users.
