Looking around online for a way to beat keyloggers, I encountered the term 'key scrambler'. My search for the term here on superuser.com didn't yield any result ... hence the question

Are key scramblers effective in beating keyloggers?

Keyloggers usually install in the OS in the middle of the flow where the key is pressed and the action that the OS does with this key stroke.

There are some ways you can try to beat a key logger, but these don't beat all of them. Some home banking web sites use a software keyboard to enter your password, this input isn't caught by a keylogger.

Another way is to use specially designed software to detect wich software has a keyboard hook (that means software which listens to every keyboard event in Windows), but i don't know of any examples.
