Popular Anti-Keylogger Plugin Adds Support for IE 7 and Firefox

Ormond Beach, Florida, September 15, 2006. Six weeks after KeyScrambler’s initial release on July 29, 2006, QFX Software rolled out the much anticipated new version, KeyScrambler 1.1, with newly added support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 and Mozilla Firefox.

The Personal edition is free for download at the company's website, http://www.qfxsoftware.com, and takes one minute to download and install. Users of Internet Explorer and Firefox will enjoy increased computing security for the anti-keylogger tool protects all logins, not just one or two sites, and does so by encrypting (or "scrambling") the user’s keystrokes at the kernel driver level, before keyloggers can record them.

KeyScrambler Professional, available at $24.99, encrypts not only logins but everything a user types into a web page, including account numbers, credit card numbers, addresses and phone numbers, and even email messages.

Neither version requires you to do anything differently on your computer. When you type in your user names and passwords, you’ll see KeyScrambler encrypting live, unobtrusively, right before your eyes, on your screen, for your peace of mind.

A developer of security and financial software based in Ormond Beach, Florida, QFX Software Corporation believes in user empowerment and KeyScrambler is the latest of the company’s innovations. Because traditional anti-spyware and anti-virus programs typically depend on having a known signature of a keylogger before they can detect and remove it, they often act after the keyloggers have already stolen the users’ information. KeyScrambler employs a radically different method that works against known and unknown keyloggers. By encrypting the keystrokes at the kernel driver level and decrypting them within the browser itself, KeyScrambler gives keyloggers only indecipherable, encrypted keys to record.

"We’re offering the Personal edition absolutely free because we believe every user deserves at least this much protection from keyloggers," says Qian Z. Wang, the CEO who co-founded the startup after graduating MIT with two degrees in Computer Science. 

Users all over the world seem to agree, as KeyScrambler has been gaining a fast growing user base on all continents except Antarctica in the short time since its first release. There should be little doubt that users will be even better served by the new version, KeyScrambler 1.1, a more robust product with bug fixes and added support for Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox.

 

 

New Software Released in War on Keyloggers

Ormond Beach, Florida, August 16, 2006. Amid the recent slew of news of identity thieves worming into our computers with spyware and malware to copy our keystrokes to steal our vital information, here comes some bright news for users of Microsoft Internet Explorer: A browser plugin named KeyScrambler was released on July 29, 2006 by QFX Software, a startup based in Ormond Beach, Florida. The Personal edition is free for download at the company’s website and protects all logins against keyloggers.

The new anti-keylogging tool takes only a minute to download. It is an invaluable addition to the IE users’ computing security for it protects all login pages, not just one or two sites, and it does so by encrypting (or "scrambling") the user’s keystrokes at the kernel driver level, before keyloggers can record them.

The Professional edition of KeyScrambler provides complete input protection by encrypting everything a user types into a web page, including account numbers, credit card numbers, addresses and phone numbers, and even email messages.

QFX Software Corporation believes in user empowerment and has developed several innovative software programs since 2002 to help combat Internet fraud and identity theft, KeyScrambler being the latest of the company’s innovations. Because traditional anti-spyware and anti-virus programs typically depend on having a known signature of a keylogger before they can detect and remove it, the traditional way of combating keyloggers are ineffective in that they often work after the keyloggers have already stolen the users’ information. KeyScrambler employs a radically different method that works against known and unknown keyloggers. By encrypting the keystrokes at the kernel driver level and decrypting them within the browser itself, KeyScrambler gives keyloggers only indecipherable, encrypted keys to record.

"KeyScrambler is an effective tool in our war on keyloggers," says Qian Z. Wang, the CEO who co-founded the startup after graduating MIT with two degrees in Computer Science. "That's why my company has created the program in the first place. We’re offering the Personal edition absolutely free because we believe every user deserves at least this much protection from keyloggers." He adds that his company is currently working on making KeyScrambler also compatible with Mozilla Firefox.

Having KeyScrambler on your computer does not require you to do anything differently. When you type in your user names and passwords, you’ll see KeyScrambler encrypting live, unobtrusively, right before your eyes, on your screen, for your peace of mind.
