(Dont get me wrong but if one does not trust 'alien' computer programs would not trust your security solution either, right?:) But this means not to ever install any shareware/freeware, but that is not feasible.)
    But releasing the source code form is not a good idea as it would
    allow novice hackers to abuse their new found knowledge. Don't you
    think so? A better option would be to have ipGuardian digitally signed
    to prove its authenticity. That we would do it in due time.

(the bank also uses a numeric keypad that looks like a phone keyboard that is used with a mouse, intended to be a trick against keyloggers, but... it was easy to write a program that would log the picture under the clicked point)
    That was what I was alluding to .. using journalling techniques. Yes,
    we could only make it more difficult but it is still breakable. It
    would be a continuing effort from hackers and anti-hackers to devise
    new technologies and new techniques to combat against each other...
