Is there a software that memerizes passwords used on a personal computer?

Question

I'm convinced someone else has been using my computer and downloading viruses into it. I heard that it is something that you can purchase. If so, what's the name of it?

Answer 1

keyloggers will shadow everything you type and then email them back

check the control panel--adminstrator tools--services area to see what services are running, open a browser window ( firefox is best ) and one by one google the service running to see if it's freindly or foe, usually the good one have valid descriptions and valid service names, malware or keyloggers don't. hit ctrl-alt-del at the same time to see what process' are running, and teminate the ones that are not good, then see where on the hadrive the program was installed to and manually delete is as keyloggers cannot be generally deisntalled by the control panel-remove software area.

then get the following, all are free for a safe surfing experience,
install in SAFE mode with networking ( hit F-8 at boot time ), run them all in SAFE mode
with networking as you'll need it for the updates all the programs below will need.
Turn off RESTORE and the RECYLE BIN temporarily as virii can regenerate / reinfect even if you delete
them with both services on. After all the scanning and cleaning after a 2nd reboot and one last
scan do you turn both of them back on.

and if you have a wireless router follow these tips,


1. Use WPA encryption (WPA-PSK) it's less crackable then WEP.

2. Make a passphrase that is upper & lower case and has some numbers thrown in there as well, again harder to crack.
some like mAkE1t5eCurE0rel53 and as long as possible.

3. Use MAC access control so only you or authorized PC's can connect (even if you do have encryption turned on)

4. Turn off DHCP use static addresses.

5. Turn off SSID (and change it) unless your card really needs it (some do)

6. Change username/password of access unit front end

7. Ensure you have the usual firewall enabled on your PC.

8. Paranoia rules, turn WLAN off if your not using it :)
