a keylogger is a program that tells the person who put it there what keys you press..
that is, it'll be able to steal your passwords and your accounts may be hacked... -
when u enter your password to an account , the password is sent to the hacker
something like this -
keylogger log you passwords in a log. More serious loggers will log ALL your keys! I recommend u to use spybot.

windows is like that. once u're online, u'll be attacked even if did nothing..... happened to me before. disappointing.Originally posted by photo_seeker:How did you get them inside your computer in the first place ? -
Latest record timing for a brand new system getting attacked after getting on the internet is........................... 4 mins.
Guys, get a firewall and anti virus. If u are on a budget, here is 2 free ones.
1. ZoneAlarm free, from www.zonelabs.com
2. AVG Anti virus, freeware version available from www.grisoft.com
Keylogger is a hidden program that records watever key u press and records it into a text file.
Works together with a trojan / backdoor program. Trojan will send the text file out. Keylogger on their own is usually unable to send stuff out on its own.
Keyloggers are not really very common. PPl who kena keyloggers in their systems are usually targeted by someone. Meaning someone out there is watching u, and wants ur info. -
It's either he's a hardcore gamer or visits ahem sites

Seriously, there's no way to remove the keylogger unless the person who installed it on your computer wants it to be removed.
One way to overcome it is to reformat your computer. It will wipe off everything. And in case it is like some computer viruses whereby it likes memory a lot, reset CMOS also. -
If Spybot Search & Destroy can't work, go to your program files and check if theres any new and suspicious programs. Some dumb keyloggers like Keylogger Lite dun bother to hide itself in Program Files...
If not --> Reformat -
in this pic it shows my yahoo antispy finding keyloggers and i can locate them in my registry. all four of them can be found, each of them having subfolders in them.
Should i delete them?
im hesistating coz the last time i made some changes in the registry i cant start up and i had to send my comp for repair -
Don't delete yourself, use your antispyware/antivirus program to remove
-
Reformatting is the best way out though
-
If you know how to edit the registry, you can do so. If not, use antispyware.
-
record password and username or sort of

Using Anti Spyware is the best way out to prevent a problematic registry in the futureOriginally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:If you know how to edit the registry, you can do so. If not, use antispyware.
