v2.6.0.0
It hasn't crashed my system yet, but it has introduced the following buggy behavior:

The free version supposedly only activates (protects) when typing into a FF or IE window. When the focus is on an explorer.exe window instance, sure enough, the KS taskbar icon displays yellow... yet KS is clearly (as in, repeatable) affecting the keystrokes while I'm typing within explorer.exe

When using explorer.exe, I'm accustomed to typing Alt+F W F to create a new folder. After installing KeyScrambler, I find that half the time (but not consistently) the text I'm attempting to type (replacing the default "New Folder" name string) is wacko / encrypted. In other words, typing "doggie" might populate the name with a value of "fQ#v%]". Press escape, folder name reverts to "New Folder". Press F2 and again type "doggie" and the result is "tG&_c=" (or whatever). This nonsense seems to persist until I've clicked outside the explorer window then click again to return focus to the explorer right-pane. At that point, pressing F2 and typing a name yields the expected text characters.

FWIW, I did experience a BSOD today (first in several months)

I've been using Keyscrambler 2.6.0.0 for a while now and I haven't noticed anything when using make new folder within Explorer, I am running Windows 2000 on fat32, 512 mbs memory. Celeron coppermine, socket 370, 902mhz
If I come up against any "glitches" I will post here.

To update this thread. Support gave me new version a couple days a go and since installing i did not faced any problem. It is version 2.6.0.2.

[pidbo]

Although I haven't had a problem with this version can I download 2.6.0.2 without calling support? Is it automatically updated to this version if I rightclick tray icon and choose new version?
