Full Version: Screenshot protection for virtual keyboard

I want to suggest Kaspsersky to blocks attempts to take screenshots of the virtual keyboard, as this may be able to be used to steal passwords "graphically" by taking screenshots at a quick enough rate.

Sure, this might be a bit impractical, but see http://mrooney.blogspot.com/2009/02/cracki...oards-with.html for more info on what I'm talking about.

ummmm.. is my installation faulty then? =P
I'm guessing Kaspersky should've blocked it?

EDIT: OH! Thanks Lucian for the clarification; you JUST managed posted before me =D

if you set a master password in firefox and store any passwords for whatever reason, you cannot use virtual keyboard to enter the master password. you still have to type it in via the physical keyboard unless i am missing a trick.
