Beware of Hardware Key loggers!
Can you be absolutely sure, that your activity isn’t being monitored and recorded after installing all sort of spyware removal softwares on your computer?
The problem with many people is, because they’re alone in a room with their computer, they think that no body can be watching.
If only they knew how easy it is to plant a computer recording device or software recording program onto a computer, they wouldn’t feel so safe.
Computer monitoring devices come in two main categories, Hardware Key loggers & Spyware Software.
In this article I will address Hardware Key loggers and give you the best to spot and prevent them from spying on you.
This type of Key Logger requires that the perpetrator have physical access to your computer.
Key Loggers can easily be installed in less than 5 seconds.
It doesn’t matter if you use your computer at home or at work. If anyone has access to your computer they can install one of these devices without knowing a thing about computers.
Once installed, a hardware Key Logger will capture every keystroke entered into your keyboard and then store it for future retrieval on the device itself.
Some hardware Key Logger companies boast a two-million keystroke capacity!
That’s about 5 years worth of typing for the average computer user.
Whether at home or in the office, you can easily fall victim to this type of spying. A hardware Key Logger is installed between your keyboard and computer.
There are no anti spyware tools available for this except you’re own two eyeballs. 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 Key Logger, you must shut down your system! You could cause damage your system if you attempt to remove the Key Logger while your computer is running!
Once your system is powered off, carefully remove the Key Logger from in between your keyboard and computer, and then plug your keyboard directly back into the computer. Make sure that it is plugged in completely and be gentle as the connectors are somewhat fragile.
It is very important to become an anti spyware enthusiast and check any computer you sit down at for hardware key loggers.
