-	The IE browser is no longer recommended due to the level of danger and risk involved in its threats. Major organizations are no longer suggesting that users merely download the latest patches, check their security settings for IE. Secondly, invest in an anti-virus program and keep its definitions up-to-date. In addition to this, installing an anti-spyware program as well as a firewall also aids in increased protection. However, when an individual wants to access their online banking on a public computer, he/she may not be able to scan the computer for any keystroke logging devices; therefore you must make sure your navigation is based on some form of encryption: See Protection Table above.	+	The IE browser is no longer recommended due to the level of danger and risk involved in its threats.

If users keep their anti-virus and anti-spyware software up-to-date, use firewalls, and avoid running programs received via e-mail or instant messaging, they increase their chances of protection against many threats, including Keystroke Logging.

	There are many ways to protect a user from becoming a victim of a key logged attempt. Firstly, you need to be aware of the kind of threats your up against, be it software, hardware, or kernel-based. Usually people protect themselves against software-based log attempts, as these are the most common. That being said, discussion will be based upon software-based applications. Firstly, it is advised not to use Internet Explorer. Programs such as Firefox, Google Chrome, Netscape, and Opera can be used as alternatives to IE.
