Keylogger

Joe2 · 06-29-2009, 04:27 AM

I am not sure if I am in the correct forum. If not, could you please advise me where to post this.

Is there anywhere on the forums that recommends keylogger software that protects you and stops a keylogger before any damage is done.

My second question is that I had my password stolen on a web based email client and it was used to send spam. The email client vendors suggested it was probably a keylogger and changed my password. Is it possible I STILL have a keylogger on my computer (How would I know) and should I contact my online bank and also stop using any payment processors to buy online.

Thank you
Joe

I would recommend SnoopFree.SnoopFree is a programme that informs you when another programme is wanting to log your keystrokes or read your screen.Only for XP users. I suggest you only install Snoopfree once you are sure you are clean and no infection is present.

If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please get to a known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation.

If you believe that the infection is still present, please follow instructions below.
