Hello.
Here's some tips on how to keep your account/wallet safe.
----------------------------------------------------------
First, The On Screen Keyboard method.
Everytime you login your account/wallet, Make sure to type the password with On Screen Keyboard, so if you're keylogged, the keylogger would get a blank key entry
Here's how to access On Screen Keyboard.
Start-->All Programs---->Accessories--->Accessibility---> On-Screen Keyboard.
Second, the RDP method, this is a little complicated method.
----------------------------------------------------------
RDP is a shortcut for "Remote Desktop Protocol"
This is where you connect to another PC using your own, after a successful connection, a window will open with the PC desktop, allowing you to fully-control it, that could be a way to access your wallet/account if you have been keylogged.
Please notice that RDP would only prevent GetAsynKeyState and other keyboard-hooking keyloggers
----------------------------------------------------------
What if you have been keylogged already?
Download Keyscrambler,
Keyscrambler is a software that encrypts your KeyStroke in Windows.
So even if you're keylogged and the logs gets sent to the logger, It'd be encrypted and he wouldn't be able to see them.

Second , update your Anti-Virus, if you cannot update  your Anti-Virus or download a new one then simply do this.
Get on another PC, connect a USB flash drive, download a strong Anti-Virus, then put it on your keylogged PC.
Or the other option is to format your Hard Drive if the above options do not work.

Or
You can run your PC on Linux.
Linux are pretty preventable against Keyloggers.

----------------------------------------------------------
What if you've been keylogged and have no other PC and want to access your wallet/account?
Simple, Get a trusted friend of yours to download TeamViewer, TeamViewer is a screen-sharing program that allows you to control another PC.
After he and you download TeamViewer, you intial a connection between you and him, and you could use his PC to login your wallet,
He won't get your password, the keylogger won't get your password and you'll have access to your wallet.
----------------------------------------------------------
How to find out if you have been keylogged?
Simple
First of all, disconnect all Internet using programs, Skype, Yahoo, Hotmail, Browsers, etc.
Go to Start--->Run---> type CMD
When the command window opens
Type netstat -a
A list of connections will appear, letting you know what IP's are connected to your PC
If you recognize an IP that's different from yours and has " ESTABLISHED" behind it, then you have an ongoing connection with that IP and you're probably keylogged.
----------------------------------------------------------
How to protect yourself from being Keylogged.
Do not download any softwares you don't know about.
Do not download a software someone asked you to.
Do not share your PC with someone else.
Do Hardware scans from time to time.
----------------------------------------------------------
If you've got more questions, feel free to ask!

Any clue on any security risks that native onscreen touchscreen keyboards pose?  Is it the same risk as physical keystrokes?  More?  Less?
