What are Keyloggers?

by Alison Daynhixa on December 22, 2008

Keyloggers are malicious software programs that are used to record every key you push on your keyboard. Keyloggers are a form of spyware and adware which automatically install themselves on your computer without your knowledge due to existing back door infections. Back door infections are parasites already installed on your computer which allow malicious programs to install themselves anonymously through the “back door” of your computer without your knowledge.

Keyloggers are extremely dangerous because they lead to password and identity theft. They record all input entered on the keyboard including windows passwords, documents, credit card numbers, online passwords, and even bank account numbers. Without the appropriate anti spyware or adware program, keyloggers are next to impossible to find, let alone remove.

If you use the internet, you are at an extreme risk of being infected with keyloggers and other dangerous programs without your knowledge. If your computer had been running slow lately, it is a sign of adware and spyware infections, possibly including dangerous keyloggers. According to CNN, “If you use the internet, there is a 90% chance your computer is infected with spyware or adware.” By removing keyloggers you will eliminate the threats of identity theft and help protect yourself online.

To remove these dangerous infections, I recommend using AdwareAlert. Not only will this program remove problematic keyloggers, it will remove tracking cookies, trojans, parasites, dialers, and other infections which rob your computer’s performance.

I recently reviewed this software, and its effectiveness. Please feel free to read this review at:
