How to escape keyloggers

Recently, i read a few simple tips on how to escape from keyloggers while accessing the net from cybercafe's. Here they are

#1) Use the On-Screen Keyboard by going to start->accessories->accessibility->onscreen keyboard. This interface doesn't allow keyloggers to record keystrokes as clicks are recorded only as 'click'.

#2) Press Ctrl+Alt+Del and check the processes tab for any mysterious or uncommon processes,and if there are,use the On-Screen keyboard, or simply avoid exchanging sensitive data. If you're unsure about any process, try cross-checking them on www.processlibrary.com .

#3) Avoid using public computers for sensitive tasks, such as transfering money from paypal, etc.


Hope these tips help you guys out well. They certainly did help me !
