So correct.

Security software..? Process Guard. On and off, simple. My isp is my firewall (I have a shell account).

There is malware that looks into your clipboard as well. Others have already mentioned it here. It might help a bit, but the best bet is probably to avoid getting infected in the first place.

what if you run a password manager in a virtual box and copy & paste it onto your real box would that be more safe



I like the idea of password manager and want it to me as secure as possible so I don't get hacked!

I've used a similar system when I've run Windows in the past, pretty solid actually.

I'm sure there are more. It's only a feature of the NTFS filesystem (Windows), not every OS by the way.


Why would the banks steal your info if they already have it? Do you understand what the implications would be?

Do you trust your Firefox or Chrome or any other software on your computer not to be malware from the NSA? Why banks? Is it because of this "banks are evil" mentality that many bitcoin users have? If you don't trust it, learn to analyze the software.

Do not open suspicious emails.

I personally use zemana antilogger with mbytes

That doesn't have any affect whatsoever. Just because you don't have a physical keyboard doesn't mean you are immune to key loggers.  The on screen touch still shows the same data input & output as you would if you had entered the data as a physical keyboard.
You don't need to install anything to stop hidden downloads, so you don't have to clog up your computer with yet another anti virus. It takes around 3 lines of code to block downloads from anywhere, this code is external from the browser because, it means an attacker would have a far more difficult job turning it on/off unlike the ones that are located in some browsers. Of course as long as you are receiving data from being connecting to the internet you are still vulnerable.
He probably uses CS or what I like to call common sense, sometimes people touch on intelligence too, rarely but they do.
I'm unfamiliar with Lastpass these days, but you used to have to copy to the clipboard which indeed can be monitored by keyloggers. Also, the auto type which some offer I know keepass does can also be intercepted by keyloggers.

Conclusion: Password managers are basically for people who have a lot of passwords which they tend to forget (I do this all the bloody time) or people who want ease of use simply by coping it without having to type anything. Although, they do have some security with them, it's not 100% foolproof and relatively easy if targeted. All of them require either you copying to clip board, showing the password in plain text ( ) or them auto filling for you, which can be captured.

-Use a Linux system.
-prevent hidden downloads.,
-Only use password managers for ease of use, don't store anything like bank accounts etc.
-Sure use a firewall & anti virus if you want and feel more secure.
-Don't download shit you haven't verified via certain methods. E.g: Checksum can be used in certain circumstances.
-No script, Http everywhere, flash disabled & java script turn off are all your friends.
-Set up a logging system, so you can monitor exactly what's going on & when things happened on your computer.
 

I think he is not using any kind of security, he is just basically avoid download and suspicious website.

Never ever download suspicious software, when in doubt, use a spare computer and sandboxie to run it.

How to protect from keyloggers?

Use touch screen instead.
(or just don't use your computer)

So what kind of security software do you use then?

Anti virus's cannot, I repeat, CANNOT see ads, (ADS) stream's.. which, incidently, are attached to many files you take for granted.. NO anti virus WILL admit to being able to 'see' them.. keylogger's are nowt. ADS streams will always be prevailant in your pc, regardless of OS

What anti virus? I aint used one since '98, and never will

They claim that they will protect you from keyloggers at the same time that they increase safety with a bank account. Even if they do what they say in the best possible way, they could be stealing your info, themselves, for the NSA or something. Are they good guys?

I know a lot of banks use it. It does help with security.

Try to avoid downloading things you dont trust for the internet first of all. Second make sure that you have a back up anti virus like AVG just incase you ever do accidently download something.

Does anyone have experience with Trusteer Rapport? 

Dont use keyboard.. if your infected, you should just use a tablet, askin questions like this is tantamount to knowing the answer.. dont type..

If your 'infected', refrmat, since there are no secret's, and it's all, 'in the cloud'.. you'd surely have no problems retrievin your back up? haha..

Check running ports, use process view to see what's happening, cport's to see open ports when you click send, and pray it's not an ads stream, cause then your justified in thinking people can access what?

Keylogger's mean nothing when the gov record's anything, kinda shows ya the truth thatb there is no..

condom's

not if your computer is infected.

wicked
i use a plugin in my browser, is this safe?
