I was using Spybot before and it did get rid of some worms in my computer. Any other recomendation for Free Antivirus for home use and where to get them?

I think that is probably useless. Unless the virtual keyboard is integrated into a web page or application, it should still generates keystroke events and can be recorded by a keystroke logger. Am I missing something?

adaware is good also.


There is a price for an "upgraded" version, but is free to use and I have used it plenty of times.

Just to let you guys know, this scam has nothing to do with the Symantec company or its Norton antivirus software. It's simply being used as a front name by the actual thief.

True though, it's not hard to falsely label a company on credit statements. People falsify caller ID info too

Maybe so, but I called Norton and they showed that they charged me. And they refunded me.

How do you mean? It's just a keyboard that shows up on the screen. I click each key using my mouse.
