Cyber Scarecrow

One of the reference in "How does it work" [1] mentioned that some hackers will not mess with computers with Russian keyboard, so you can add one to reduce your chance of getting hacked.

Hilarious aside, it would only work if you don't actually use multiple keyboard -- otherwise an additional one would make switching between multiple keyboards very annoying [*].

It also mentions some other changes like adding RU keywords to your registry. Again, these measures would have many side effects since lots of software actually use these registry entries for legit reasons. So I don't know if this Cyber Scarecrow product would have this problem, since it does modify registry, too.

*: A little rant: as someone who use three virtual keyboards (English, Chinese, Japanese), it is already a pain in ass to switch them since MS does not follow "last used" switching order (like alt+tab). Instead, it just switches in one direction.

Actually, I much prefer this order. Depending on what keyboard I currently use, I know exactly how often to switch instead of having to remember what I used previously. In fact, I don't even like this order when Alt+Tab'ing, it makes switching between more than two windows pretty inconsistent (yes, I know Windows+Number works, too).
