Yes! you guessed right, this is placed at number one because most android user dont get know anything about background data or if it exist.

Click on data usage.

  • Use Browser With Data Saving Feature

Most of you just use browser like Opera mini and UC without knowing about the data saving features on it.

If you are a die hard Opera and UC browser user like me you would notice that Opera and UC has being making moves to help their consumers reduce data consumption by adding data saving options.


If you are using your phones or laptop default browser I would advise you to switch to Opera mini or UC browser.

Alternatively you can set image quality to medium or low.

protect computer from keyloggers

Do you want to protect your computer from keyloggers? If yes, YOU CAN DO IT! Because today Im going to share some powerful tricks and tips that you can use to defend your computer against keyloggers.

Before going into the tricks and tips, take a look at What is a Keylogger?

Keylogger is a simple program that can record keystrokes
. That is, if you care about your privacy and security, keylogger is a type of program you shouldnt allow in your computer. It should be noted that the keylogger is the common program found in most of the Trojans.

Here are the 5 smart ways to protect your computer from keyloggers:



#1 Encrypt Keystrokes


Keystroke encryption is a great way to protect your sensitive information from the keylogger programs since it works by recording keystrokes. There are many keystroke encryption tools available, some of them are mentioned below.

  • KeyScrambler

KeyScrambler Box

It is a very good keystroke encryption tool that can really protect your sensitive information from getting into wrong hands. Blowfish and RSA algorithms in the KeyScrambler provides a strong protection against keyloggers.

How KeyScrambler Works: When a user starts typing, KeyScrambler will start encrypting each character instantly at the keyboard driver level, deep in the Windows kernel. That is, if a keylogger is running on the same computer, all the key logs will be some nonsense!

Download KeyScrambler

  • Zemana AntiLogger

Zemana AntiLogger Box


Once installed, Zemana AntiLogger will encrypt all of the information you type. It is just like the KeyScrambler, but the free version of Zemana AntiLogger is much better than the free version of KeyScrambler.

The premium version of Zemana AntiLogger is better than KeyScrambler. Because it provides some extra features such as malware detection, behaviour-based protection, and IntelliGuard.

How Zemana AntiLogger Works: It works like the KeyScrambler program but has more additional features.

Download Zemana AntiLogger

#2 Use AntiVirus


Antivirus is a must have application for every computer. There are many AntiVirus tools available, choose a suitable one according to your requirements and configuration.

Here are some AntiViruses that I personally like to use:

  • Panda Cloud AntiVirus:

Panda Cloud AntiVirus Box

The reason I like Panda Cloud AntiVirus is because it is so user-friendly. And the biggest advantage of using such cloud-based antivirus programs is that the user dont have to update virus databases.

The Free version of Panda Cloud AntiVirus provides some great and useful features such as USB protection and Rescue Kit.

Download Panda Cloud AntiVirus

  • Kaspersky AntiVirus:

Kaspersky AntiVirus Box

I think, I dont have to tell you something about Kaspersky. Kaspersky is always on the top antiviruses list. One thing I noticed about Kaspersky is they dont offer a free version! Only the 30-day trial versions are available for free.

Anyway, if you are interested in trying Kaspersky AntiVirus, go ahead, I highly recommend it.

Download Kaspersky AntiVirus

#3 Use Firewall


Yes, you read that right. use a Firewall. Since the keyloggers have the ability to send recorded logs to the server, the best way to block such transmissions is by using Firewalls. There are a lot of software Firewalls on the web, most of them are free. If you dont know any firewall applications, use any of the below-mentioned tools.


  • ZoneAlarm Free Firewall:

ZoneAlarm Free Firewall Box

ZoneAlarm Free Firewall is a very useful application that can help you to block malicious programs from sending any data. Im using ZoneAlarm Free Firewall for about 2 years and it is amazing. I strongly recommend this application to everyone.

#4 Use Password Manager


Saving your password is a good idea to protect your web accounts from hackers. Wait.... are you going to save your login credentials in the web browser? If you are, dont do it, buddy. It is not safe as you think.

So what Im recommending to you is the "LastPass Password Manager". It is free to use and secure as hell.

Now lets talk about it.


  • LastPass:

LastPass Password Manager

LastPass is an award-winning password manager that has many useful features such as, automatic form filler and random password generator. According to me, it is a must have tool not only for protecting your login credentials but also for a hassle free browsing experience.

If you havent updated your software, do it now. Because, non-updated software increases the risk of getting hacked. I know updation is not an easy task for many people. But think, if you can stop attacks before they start, then why are you risking you valuable information?

#6 Use AntiExploit
