Perhaps these hardware devices or computer software
shouldn't have been created, but these are here available
to everybody. There is a posibility that you are going
watched now. You need to know what is going on your

About keyloggers
A Keylogger (KeyLogger, Key Logger, or Keystroke Logger) is
a small device installed installed between your keyboard and
your computer or a computer program that runs in the background,
recording all the keystrokes. Once keystrokes are logged,
they are hidden in the machine for later retrieval, or shipped
raw to the interested person.
Types of keyloggers:
- Hardware based: This is independent
of the computer operating system, easy installation
but also easy to detect (physically), expensive, for
example a hardware keylogger with 512KB of memory
will save keystrokes typed during four days approximately.
A hardware keyloggers like this is about $150. It
could be found at any moment and disconnected and
will only provide you with keystrokes.
-Software based: A very basic software Keylogger normally
consists of two files:
-An executable file which load a
DLL, sets the hook and saves keystrokes
- A Dinamic Link Library or DLL.
- Optionally in advanced spy softwares for Windows, one driver, who will gain access to the kernel of the operative system and could help to the main executable be more indetectable, like WinSession Logger does.
Of course, a single keylogger can't do more
that save keystrokes, but you know that there are
more events in your computer that could be monitored:
computer screen, mouse activity, instant messajes, etc.
Nowadays the monitoring software, survillance software or spy software
are products that are developed in different countries of the
world by hundreds of companies and by individual programmers.
These software products embrace, as a rule, absolutely different
products, some of them are more known than others. If a survillance
software becomes popular then there will be more antikeyloggers
who will be able to detect and delete it, for example Spy Buddy,
PC ACME Pro, Perfect Key logger, Family Key logger, etc.
Perhaps you are going being spied on your own pc at home, or at work, your best defense could be to install one keylogger if you are suspecting that somebody is monitoring one of the PCs that you use or try to detect and delete this software, read more.
