Daily Deal: GuardedID Internet Security
from the good-deals-on-cool-stuff dept
Many readers here have probably heard of keylogging and how tracking the keystrokes you use while you're browsing makes it easier for your data to be compromised. GuardedID outsmarts cyber criminals by encrypting your keystroke data from the point of origin — your keyboard — and delivering it safely and securely to your browser so that when you type, keyloggers see only a meaningless sequence of numbers. GuardedID protects you from keylogging attacks and kernel- / desktop-based keyloggers, detects and highlights hidden clickjacking attacks, warning you away from clicking on malicious invisible objects, prevents screen scraping malware from taking screenshots of your info secretly, and more. The 1 computer 1 year license is on sale for only $9 with other license options available as well.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Re: Seriously.......
Once your PC is infected, rooted, or compromised, all bets are off.

Also hardware keyloggers PHYSICALLY sit between the USB cable of the keyboard and the USB socket on the PC, so this would do nothing in that case either.
Basically snake-oil as said above. Most people AREN'T victims of keyloggers, and because they don't get attacked, this company will say 'see it works'.
It's the same principle as 'this rock banishes tigers back to the jungle'. I haven't see any tigers at the local mall, therefore it must work....only $500!

Use of GuardedID

It works exactly as advertised and did not capture ONE. SINGLE. KEYSTROKE. that I entered in. It is far from snake oil and will do the trick, even if infected due to the level it is installed in your system. In fact, I personally recommend it be used in conjunction with antivirus for that exact reason. If infected, GuardedID may very well be the only only reason your information remains secure.
As mentioned above, GuardedID (nor any of their competitors) will NOT protect against hardware-based keyloggers (ie inline usb keyloggers). Those capture your keystrokes at a level lower than than any software can reach since it is capturing the keystrokes straight from the keyboard itself.
