How to defend urself from keyloggers...!!
Keylogger is a stealth software or hardware that is installed on victim's machine to log the keystrokes that are typed by victim. by stealth it means that there is no evidence left on machine that can tell whether the software keylogger is installed or not, but the hardware keylogger can be detected easily. Now a days there are advance features in keyloggers that can log keys, capture screen shots, passwords , chats, emails and also mail the log to the attacker. More about keyloggers can be learnt from here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystroke_logging
So now how to avoid ur keystrokes to be not logged. First of all u can use antikeylogger software that prohibits the keylogger from logging any thing. Antispyware can also detect keyloggers and delete them.
but all keyloggers are not detected so there is alternative to defend them.
As keylogger logs the keyboard keys, so avoid using harware keyboard and use Onscreen keyboard from utility manager in windows.
But still some keyloggers can detect that poor windows online keyborad.
So now u can use Neo-safekeys software. it also provides onscreen keyboard but it is not detected by the keyloggers.
Thus enjoy safe keystriking.
This technique works for both H/W & S/W keyloggers.
hardware keyloggers can be detected easily because they are attached to the wire tht connects the keyboard and CPU cabin. just check that wire if u found a small hardware in shape of portable usb stick that maybe keylogger.

all keyloggers are not detectable, usually those that are developed by ourself.
keyogger that are usually detected are available in wild or that one which are quite famous.
i dont know much programming stuff in this. but When ever a key is pressed the keylogger can detect the key pressed by inquiring the OS of machine, using API calls. They keep inquiring OS for if any key pressed or not, if yes then what is key. The OS itself assissts the keylogger.
