eScan - FAQ
 Q. What is the Virtual Keyboard feature? Solution: Answer: eScan 11 provides users with a Virtual Keyboard that helps them avoid using their keyboard to enter confidential information. This is highly useful because it has several security benefits. Malware writers create malware because of their need to obtain a payload. The payload for a password-stealing Trojan may be the authentication information of a user's online banking account. Malware often include keyloggers, which are programs designed to capture the keystrokes on the computer on which they are installed. Whenever a user fills in details such as user name or password on an online form, the keylogger obtains this information and then sends it to the hacker. The user interface of eScan's Virtual Keyboard simulates the user's keyboard and acts as a secure mechanism for the user to enter sensitive information, such as credit card details and banking passwords, without any fear of data theft due to keyloggers.
