Last Pass is only for online by the way so your passwords would be stored on a online database rather than an offline like keepass
If you use a virtual machine (using virtualbox or similar software) on a already infected computer willl it affect the virtual machine?
I'm considering using a virtual machine for logging into things for added security....plus installing all the anti virus on the virtual machine...what are the draw backs of runinng a virtual machine?

you can still get malware in the virtual machine lol
why not just boot on a different partition?

well , at the risk of being obvious and I am not trolling you the best protection is not to allow a keylogger to be loaded /infect your system at all......
Best answer in my opinion .. install a good firewall to prefent any keyloggers https://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/firewall.php
And check your machine regular with https://www.malwarebytes.org/
If you want an keyscrambler http://www.qfxsoftware.com/support.htm (will only protect you from some attacks)
I would add NoScript for the browser. You can allow sites you trust to run scripts, and reduce the surprises from sites you don't. But it does take some time to get used to it.

Does it hide the password (to prevent virus which record screen/take pics) ? Also does this just simply copy it to the clipboard because viruses can monitor copy & paste.
No, if you have malware that is monitoring the copy buffer and taking video, LastPass won't help you.
Someone must REALLY be working hard or you're really not taking necessary precautions if it gets to this point, though. Thanks for the information on LastPass, I'll have to check it out
I think, linux is safe.
i suggest you always visit your task manager if there are unwanted programs or suspicious applications that are running on your PC. If you found something that is suspicious search that program or application if it is a malware or any virus.
Use a service like LastPass. Then you can "click" your password with a mouse instead of typing it in on a keyboard.
this is right! my online banking uses this system to prevent 3rd party softwares to detect your password through typing in the keyboard
I've read about key scramblers do they really work? Any other software you guys can suggest...I already use malwarebytes as I heard great things.

You should be ok with mbytes its pretty good & effective against protecting youself just dont download stuff from untrusted sources and disable java script inside the browser.
No, key scramblers don't work. Anybody who tells you they do is wrong.
Take basic security precautions and you'll be OK. I've used Malwarebytes to help friends with virus removal before. It works.
