    Another question I just thought of: Hypothetically, in a perfect world, your firewall would detect the keylogger phoning home 100% of the time, right? But since it's not a perfect world, we have KeyScrambler?

    Well yes they could do that i guess but the different options they have now make far more sense. A basic free version for people to use to help increase its popularity and a more advanced paid version to make money off so development can continue.

    In the real world nothings 100% safe or secure, things can be exploited and bypassed so it helps to have a layered security solution.

    Thanks. That part makes sense. It seems to me, though, that if they were to protect the entire system at one entry point, they could devote all of their programming energy to protecting just that one point. But instead, they have to protect 100 or more different softwares. So their work increases by almost 100 times? Are they spreading themselves too thin by doing this? Are people having the discussion "Well the Internet Explorer protection is great, but the Quickbooks protection could use some more work."?

    I'm just throwing this out there. Obviously, I have no idea what I'm talking about. And that's why I'm asking the question. Maybe a programmer type that understands this at a deep level can step in and say "Don't worry about it. It's not an issue."

    Since Keyscrambler protects at the kernel level I'm betting that it is already programmed for system wide protection. They simply limit the free version to working in Firefox and Internet Explorer. Perhaps someone can confirm whether or not this is correct?

    I'm sandboxing with only giving Firefox internet access with Key Scrambler personal and I feel EVEN safer. :p Great new tool for my arsenal. :D
