“Your computer also has a Virtual On screen keyboard” : but it’s not a good protection against keylogger :

To be of any use, these virtual keyboards must be an integral part of an application or web page. A generic virtual keyboard—which will work with any program, including those that are not explicitly written for it—will not defeat a key logging program because the virtual keyboard will generate the same keyboard events as a real keyboard, and those events can be trapped and logged just as real keyboard inputs can.

Sadly the virtual keyboard provided by Microsoft won’t protect you from keyloggers. See this article which explains why:
