I don't think a virtual keyboard (you mean those on screen keyboards, right?) will protect you from anything at all. If you have a keylogger on your machine, the keylogger will get any input data including your on screen keyboard. Even if it couldn't the hackers could simply track your mouse.

If you're concerned about security, try a Linux distro, they are super secure and stable. No need to worry about getting a keylogger onto your machine. You can try dual-booting it.
I can tell this is true, at least I never got any Bitcoin or anything stolen from here and I am not even that paranoid when it comes to security.

While on Windows, if you click on a mere link on a webpage you can open doors to hackers anywhere; that is the impression I got when reading from Windows users. This is hard to understand.

A virtual keyboard makes no real difference a sandbox might though if you can separate the viruses and key loggers from the main system, unless its already built into the software then its Microsoft Tongue
This is another option you may try to use a sandbox and by doing that you can avoid most of the viruses on the internet, in fact you should follow that practice every time you install something new in your computer to avoid being infected by viruses.

here is an easy idea: how about instead of bothering that much with Windows and all the headaches of malwares and key loggers, etc move onto linux at least for security stuff such as holding your bitcoins and other important matters.

Virtual keyboards can save you, but it will cause a lot of inconvenience to your work, assuming, if you use the key, you can finish the job in a short time, but if You use the virtual key, you have to perform all operations with the mouse, very inconvenient, and you will spend more money. A very cheap keyboard, you do not need to save on such expenses. Saving is good, but you need to save on time.
