Let's say someone suspects that there may be a keyboard logger on their (Windows) machine. They are not able to boot from a live CD. If they installed VMWare Player they could access prepared VMs. Anyone know of any VM images that include a virtual keyboard by default, so they could point & click the characters?

Also, how easy is it to "look into" a VM image? IOW, if I find your VM image but can't log in because it's password-protected, how easy is it to find the secrets you've saved as files within, using off-the-shelf tools? Assume the enemy is an individual user proficient with linux, not a government agency.
