  Is there any programs out here to remove virus, spyware, worms, that are free for those that do not have money to buy one? Also, how can you fix a corrupt file? Thank you very much.

  The virtual keyboard is not an effective way to protect from keyloggers as professional hacker can write malicious program to capture not only the keystroke but also the cursor movement on screen (screen capture program like Snaglt etc)

    I think the best way to protect against keyloggers is to type your password mixed with wrong characters. For example: if your password is qwerty1, just type on q0w0e0r0ty1. The next step is to select the wrong characters with the mouse and delete that character. It only works with selecting the wrong character by mouse beacause the keylogger don't logs the mouse movement! (the logger logs also the arrowkeys)

  Úsing conventional means, you can't beat a keylogger. Input and display functions on a computer are potential and unavoidable means of attack - even voice commands! A network printer is also a leak where you face a die-hard attacker.
Therefore, a program that combines encrypted eye info details plus fingerprints info, may be deployed in Servers which will in turn generate snapshots of such details to authenticate users. There will be inconveniencies no doubt.
