It's already been done. My friend lives in Turkey and they have those there. His online banking displays a keypad to enter the PIN and every time he clicks a digit the numbers all mix up so the screen clicks can't be tracked. The latest Turkish spyware takes a photo of a small square round the mouse whenever you click on one of those pages.
Does every keyboard have a different USB ident? If so you might be able to get a second keyboard and tell the VM to connect that USB device directly to the VM so it's not scanned by Windows.
Cheers,

Ahh yes, theres a virtual keyboard in Kapersky internet security.
Thanks for the reminder.
Which brings up the possibility that theres malware that takes a screenshot
which will also capture the virtual machine.
Hmm i think i have answered my own question then.
