Maybe you're not even aware of that possibility, but someone may be recording every keystroke you type on your computer at this very moment. There's a variety of software packages available from the Internet which will capture this information and save it to a file. The moment it picks up an Internet connection, it will then send that info to the computer of the data thief. In what follows we will analyze ways to protect yourself with keylogger protection programs. I will also be introducing a high quality virus, adware and spyware software that speed up my PC significantly.
There are many reasons why other people might want to know what you are typing on your PC or laptop. Maybe your husband or wife is jealous and wants to know what you're up to when you're on the Internet. Your boss could also be spying on your activities during working hours. The worst possibility is, however, that someone wants to steal your passwords to access your bank account or access sensitive information.
The bad part is that you will normally not even be aware that someone has installed a keylogger, adware or spyware on your computer. The very useful freeware package which you downloaded from the Internet last night could have been bundled with spyware. Very often it will include so-called adware, which traces your browsing habits in order to target you for advertisements.
Even when you sign up for a webmail service, such as those offered by two very well known search engines, you are actually giving them permission to install adware on your system and to send that information to their servers. While this could be seen as a breach of privacy, it's not highly dangerous. What is dangerous is if someone intentionally installs a keylogger on your system in order to steal sensitive information.
To remove spyware and adware is fortunately not very difficult. There are many free and commercial packages available that do an excellent job of picking up these programs and eliminating them. Remember to scan your flash drives and external disks as well. Your computer will usually operate much faster once these resource thieves have been removed.
In order to pick up and get rid of keyloggers, you need special anti-keylogger software. You get packages that will only detect when a keylogger has been installed on your system, but not remove it. You also get more advanced programs that will both detect and remove the keylogger. Remember to install keylogger protection software afterwards to make sure it doesn't happen again in future. I am glad that all the spyware, adware and Trojan viruses on my computer are all gone now all thanks high quality software which I downloaded.
