Hello Msners!

Okay

I thought id warn you about something...



Keyloggers record every key stroke you make and will send it to somone's computer via email/IM

Hackers are the people who go around sending Keylogger's to people, They send them in the form of :

• Files
  
• Webcam Conv.
  
• Audio Conv.

Sending/Acepting gives them acess to your computer. They can then forward there keyloggers to you.

So what happens if you get keylogged ?



See that box!   ^^^

Thats where you put your Name + Pwrd in.

How do u put it in?

YOU TYPE IT

What happens when you type it(& u have keylogger)?

They recieve your details.

They then log onto your account

And do the damage.

Toodles ,

I would like to remind you of the Caps in thread titles. Please change it, and make the title a bit more comprehensive: "Alert: Keyloggers" or similar.

3 things:

* With a normal Audio convo or Webcam convo, they can NOT send you any files

* Although it is indeed (for a part) true, this post isn't made to warn people put is purely made for pure advertisement...

* What Keystorm said

and u should know and be friends with the people on your contacts list . so u never should have any1 sending it to you. (unless u got some strange friends)

me and a couple of friends put a keylogger on a few of our school computers, just for the hell of it.  we thought that the IT technicians, who are supposed "take care" of the computers would remove it, but we found out that the keylogger was still there on the desktop (three weeks later).  but at the start of the new term they got new computers....i guess my school could use better IT technicians too

MsnFreak4eva, I must say I find your ability to spout obvious things that everyone knows in a very n00bish way amazing, how do you do it, Captain Obvious?

Most school server's have an ability to block certain file types being used on their computer...I can't believe that they didn't block all .exe files for non-admins...

Edit: Also MsnFreak4eva where ZoneAlarm is a good free firewall, it is the easiest to disable remotely...

well it was an old system with sort of crappy-ish computers.
now they got better comps and well, basically the system is a lot better now.  we did that about 1 year ago.

The .exe files are only banned on each user's personal accounts...everyone in the school has an account each and that is the only place where they are allowed to store files, if an admin decides to not allow users in a certain category (e.g. pupils) to have files of a certain type on their account it doesn't affect the current programs on the PC placed there on the LAN by the admins...since the pupils can't touch these things its ok...

be more precise then
