  1. Thank you, John! Fortunately I haven't used a public computer in at least a decade, and don't plan on doing so anytime soon! Butt the approaches you mention sound very sensible@ Sincerely, AntosWinawer
  2. This infernal little bit of hardware is why I would never type a password into public computer, such as a computer at a library. If I absolutely had to use such a computer, I would have my passwords on a protected usb drive, and would copy and paste them into login and password fields. In some cases, you have to delete the last letter, digit, or symbol and type that one character manually. But a key logger would not be able to log anything I copied and pasted. Still, I wouldn't enter anything sensitive into a publicly-available computer -- not even by copying and pasting it, unless it was an emergency.
  3. Any possibility that someone attached a little hardware connecter (key logger) at the USB connection between the keyboard and the computer? That would only take a brief moment to accomplish, and I believe it would not be detected by anti-malware programs (although I am hardly an expert in this area). Sincerely, AntosWinawer
  4. Before seeing this page, I followed the instructions in posting number 27 here (below). After installing version 3, I upgraded to version 3.3.1. I have had the real-protection-is-turned-off scourge for a while. Usually, rebooting the computer (Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit) solved the problem. But as of yesterday, I could not resolve the issue. When I applied this fix, it resolved the issue, although it has been resolved for only about ten minutes so far, so it's possible things could go awry again. But it seems that the most recent upgrade or upgrades have resolved the problem, so I am optimistic. Thank you!
