Review of online malware scan::Why does my converters show malware when I scan them - Ask ...








A               former               neighbor               of               mine               was               victimized               by               a               computer               spy               program               known               as               a               keylogger               -               short               for               keystroke               logging.

Not               only               was               her               financial               data               at               risk               but               the               keylogger               program               put               every               private               e-mail               she               sent               to               and               received               from               her               boyfriend               into               her               perpetrator's               hand               -               along               with               dates,               names               and               places.
               In               the               offline               world,               a               personal               itinerary               can               be               misused               as               much               as               financial               information,               be               it               a               stalker               or               a               thief.
               What               I               remember               most               about               the               situation               was               how               hopeless               she               came               across;               her               red               face               was               a               combination               of               both               anger               and               shame.
               She               was               unwilling               to               learn               how               to               better               protect               herself               largely               because               she               felt               "computer               illiterate,"               her               words,               not               mine.
               Ultimately,               I               fixed               her               computer,               no               problem,               but               I               don't               know               about               her               marriage.

The               keylogger               software               was               installed               by               her               husband.

Incidentally,               he               tapped               the               phone               too.

Ouch.
               Keylogger               and               Computer               Spy               Software               Basics
               Though               a               physical               recording               device               is               sometime               used,               software-based               computer               spy               programs,               such               as               keyloggers,               are               more               common.
               Often               keyloggers               are               inconspicuously               installed               on               a               PC               via               an               e-mail               attachment               or               a               file               download,               or               directly               installed               by               someone               with               access               to               the               computer.
               The               keylogger               software               is               generally               small               in               size,               and               the               keylogger               program               can               be               renamed               to               look               like               a               legitimate               file.

Some               keylogger               programs               can               pass               through               anti-virus               and               anti-spyware               detection.

Frequently,               Internet               security               software               has               been               compromised               to               accept               the               program.
               Recorded               information,               such               as               keystrokes               and               even               screen               shots,               is               stored               in               a               file               which               may               be               e-mailed               to               an               anonymous               address               or               opened               by               a               secret               key               combination.
               Fortunately,               the               log               of               events,               or               log               file               can               be               located               with               the               help               of               software               if               needed.
               Signs               of               Computer               Spy               Software
               The               better               keylogger               programs               are               difficult               to               detect               but               many               affect               computer               performance.

Any               or               all               of               the               following               changes               may               be               noticed:
               Slower               Browsing:               One               of               the               hallmark               signs               of               a               keylogger,               especially               one               that               combines               screen               shots,               will               result               in               slower               web               browsing.
               Slower               PC               Start-Up:               Though               this               is               common               to               Window's               users,               if               the               start               up               time               suddenly               worsens               and               no               new               software               has               been               installed,               a               keylogger               may               be               to               blame.
               Mouse               or               Typematic               Changes:               Changes               in               how               fast               or               accurately               the               keyboard               or               mouse               responds               may               indicate               a               keylogger               is               active.
               Display               Errors:               Odd               and               erratic               graphic               displays,               such               as               white               screens               or               blank               areas,               may               occur.

This               is               frequently               a               memory               issue               but               keyloggers               can               be               responsible.
               Regardless               of               the               errors,               if               you               suspect               a               spyware               or               a               keylogger               problem,               it               is               time               to               investigate.

Though               note               that               many               of               the               aforementioned               problems               are               caused               by               other               less               malicious               means.
               How               to               Find               and               Destroy               Keyloggers
               Third-Party               Keylogger               Scan:               Despite               Internet               security               protection,               a               keylogger               may               go               unnoticed               because               someone               changed               the               security               software               to               "accept"               the               rogue               software.
               If               you               strongly               suspect               a               keylogger               multiple               anti-malware               scans               can               help.
               Obtain               an               impartial               online               anti-virus/anti-malware               scan               for               free               at               any               of               the               following               web               sites:

               bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html
               pandasoftware.com
               Optionally,               download               any               of               the               following               programs               in               addition               to               an               online               scan               for               additional               keylogger               protection.

               kaspersky.com               (free               trial,               thorough               scan)
               counterspy.com               (free               trial)
               Note:               Avoid               running               multiple               anti-spyware               programs               simultaneously               as               this               can               decrease               their               efficiency.
               Detect               Running               Programs:               Download               and               run               the               free               program               HijackThis.

It               is               more               accurate               than               CTRL-ALT-DELETE               or               the               Task               Manager               for               identifying               invisible               programs               such               as               keyloggers.
               Follow               the               directions               here,               look               for               any               unknown               programs               and               Google               any               filenames               that               look               suspicious.
               File               Change               Detection:               As               most               keyloggers               save               the               collected               data,               at               least               temporarily,               on               the               victims               PC,               a               program               that               detects               file               changes               is               useful.KD-Detector               is               free               and               exceptionally               easy               to               use:               dewasoft.com/privacy/kldetector.htm
               Conclusion
               While               there               is               an               ethical               debate               over               the               use               of               keyloggers               to               spy               on               the               online               activities               of               children,               spouses               or               even               co-workers,               oftentimes               computer               spy               programs               are               installed               by               strangers.
               Arguably,               child               safety,               investigating               illegal               activity,               and               assessing               if               a               loved               one               is               cheating               may               seem               like               righteous               reasons               for               keyloggers               and               monitoring               online               activity.

If               you               are               the               one               being               spied               on,               however,               you               might               feel               that               a               keylogger               is               quite               un-righteous               indeed.
               Even               the               "computer               illiterate"               can               fight               back               against               keyloggers               with               these               steps.
