Secrets to SpyProofing Your Computer In 4 Easy Steps DO I NEED TO SPY PROOF MY COMPUTER?
I think
question should be, do I use my computer for anything that would best remain private and confidential? Computer monitoring has become a huge industry, involving individuals, companies and governments worldwide. Ask
millions of people who’ve had their identities stolen if they would have done anything different, knowing what they do now.
Did you know identity theft is
nations fastest growing crime?
With
advent of computer technology and
Internet spreading through our homes and businesses at lightning speed, if you haven’t been affected by computer crime in one way or another, chances are you will be soon. TYPES OF COMPUTER RECORDING DEVICES
There are two main products that are used to capture and record computer activity: Hardware Keyloggers and Surveillance Software. 95% of these are designed to be undetectable by computer users. Many Surveillance Software programs are available via a simple download over
Internet, FREE of charge, and completely anonymously!
HARDWARE KEYLOGGERS
This product requires no technical skill whatsoever to install and is often overlooked by even seasoned computer users. This type of keylogger requires that
culprit have physical access to your computer and can be installed in less than 5 seconds.
Once installed, a hardware keylogger will capture every keystroke entered into your keyboard and then store it for future retrieval on
device itself.
Some hardware keylogger companies boast a two-million keystroke capacity! That’s about 5 years worth of typing for
average computer user. Whether at home or in
office, you can easily fall victim to this type of spying.
A hardware Keylogger is installed between your keyboard and computer.
One of
most popular hardware keyloggers is KeyGhost (www.keyghost.com) . You can visit their website for more information on hardware keyloggers and why they are such an intrusion into your privacy.
REMOVAL OF HARDWARE KEYLOGGERS
By taking a peek behind your system and following your keyboard cable, you can find out if there is something "odd" inserted between your keyboard and computer. To remove a hardware keylogger, you MUST SHUT DOWN YOUR SYSTEM! You could damage your system if you attempt to remove
keylogger while your computer is running! Once your system is powered off, carefully remove
device from in between your keyboard and computer, and then plug your keyboard directly back into
computer. Make sure that it is plugged in completely and be gentle as
connectors are somewhat fragile.
BEWARE SURVEILLANCE SPY SOFTWARE Surveillance Software is by far
most insidious…and hard to detect of all computer monitoring type spyware products. Some legitimate uses for spy software are to watch a child’s Internet activity or to monitor employees while in a work environment. Unfortunately, this type of spy software is often used unethically and even illegally by ANYONE who wants to spy on or steal sensitive or private information from you, or your business, without ever being caught. Surveillance Spyware can be broken down into four main sub categories:
Keyloggers, which record keystrokes like a hardware keylogger, but without a physical device. Email Redirectors, which silently duplicate all incoming and outgoing messages to a third party. Chat Loggers and URL Recorders, which will monitor popular instant messaging programs such as AIM and Yahoo Messenger, regular IRC chat clients and web browsers. All communications and web site visits are recorded and sent back to
intruder.
Screen Recorders, which silently take snapshots of your entire desktop screen and everything you are doing, and then package it up as a slide show, for
intruder to view. Screen recorders can also email or upload these recordings for remote access.
DANGERS OF SURVEILLANCE SPY SOFTWARE Surveillance Spy Software is wreaking havoc in families and businesses around
globe with very little media attention. Surveillance Spy Software among other things is used for: • Spousal Spying • Financial Spying • Blackmail • Identity Theft • Corporate Espionage • Stalking
