Virtual Keyboard cannot protect your personal data if the website requiring the entry of such data is hacked, because in
this case the information is obtained directly by the intruders from the website.
Many programs classified as spyware can take screenshots, which then are automatically transmitted to an intruder for
further analysis and for stealing the user's personal data. Virtual Keyboard protects personal data that is entered from
attempts to intercept it through the use of screenshots.
Virtual Keyboard does not prevent screenshots that are made by using the Print Screen key and other combinations of
keys provided by the operating system settings, or by using DirectX®.
Virtual Keyboard has the following features:
You can click the Virtual Keyboard buttons with the mouse.
Unlike hardware keyboards, it is impossible to press several keys simultaneously on Virtual Keyboard. This is
why key combinations (such as ALT+F4) require that you click the first key (for example, ALT), then the second
key (for example, F4), and then the first key again. The second click of the key acts in the same way as
releasing the key on a hardware keyboard.
The Virtual Keyboard language can be switched by using the same shortcut that is specified by the operating
system settings for the hardware keyboard. To do so, right-click the other key (for example, if the LEFT
ALT+SHIFT shortcut is configured in the operating system settings for switching the keyboard language, left-
click the LEFT ALT key and then right-click the SHIFT key).
To ensure protection of data entered via Virtual Keyboard, restart your computer after installing Kaspersky Internet
Security.
You can open Virtual Keyboard in the following ways:
From the context menu of the application icon in the taskbar notification area
From the main application window
From the Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome browser windows
