Troubleshooting Tips & FAQs
KeyScrambler is a leading anti-keylogging software program. It
defeats existing and new keyloggers by encrypting keystrokes at the
keyboard driver level and decrypting them in the destination application,
leaving keyloggers with entirely indecipherable keys to record.
- KeyScrambler Personal is a browser addon that protects everything you type into a web page
on all websites and in all parts of the browser.

Professional protects everything that the Personal protects. It
also protects everything you type into major standalone email and instant messaging clients
beyond the browser.

installer and these steps are not usually necessary. From version
