Keylogger and screen grabber blocking plus encryption that hides your typing from keyloggers*

Blocks programs that secretly record your screen or your typing in order to steal your personal information.

Doesn’t have to scan for keyloggers and screen grabbers. Instead, blocks the processes they use. Also, special encryption ensures that only the intended program (e.g., your Web browser) can read your keystrokes.
