Are you curious to know who is accessing your computer while your away? Do you own a business and want to make sure the company internet is not being abused or putting your information at risk. Why not try a discrete Key Stroke Logger. What is a key logger you might ask? A Key Stroke Logger is an invisible software program or direct plug in device, that business owners and identity thieves can use to track your online activity and more.
It is almost impossible to detect a key logger if it was installed on your computer and even if you’re careful you’ll never know if it is recording information such as bank account passwords and credit card numbers, maybe its access to sensitive corporate account info. The thing is, you wouldn’t even know if you had one installed, your computer would not behave any different, nothing would seem unusual. It just silently watches every keystroke you type in as if someone were standing over your shoulder taking notes.
At least on third of all online scams can now be traced to key logging. If you type key logger into any Internet search engine you can find several perfectly legal ways to buy and install it. Several businesses use key logger software to monitor employee activity and parents can use key logging to check up on the web sites their children are visiting. But in the hands of a hacker wanting to steal your financial information, key loggers are extremely dangerous.
The best rule of thumb is to carefully monitor what you download on your computer and what sites you visit. The major sites of banks and retailers are usually relatively safe. But be aware of downloading free software from an unfamiliar site that could leave you vulnerable to a potential hacker.
