About Keylogger:
Keylogger is a software that when installed on your PC records each and every word that you will type through your keyboard.It not only records the keystrokes it also can take images of your pc at regular interval,and the worst thing about this software is that it remains hidden after the installation,it will neither show on your desktop or in program files or else where.This software can be binded with any image or any exe file easily through special softwares, and can also be made FUD(Fully undetectable). This software once installed on your pc,will start working immediately and will record your personal details,like your social accounts,bank details which will lead to disaster.
How to be Safe:
1.The best thing to get yourself protected is to get yourself a full antivirus version,that can detect any kind of malware file that may have been attached to the file that you are downloading.That malware can be a KEYLOGGER. Regular update of antivirus is quite important,because everyday more and more ways to infect files with keyloggers are being generated,and an updated antivirus can track down these harmful activities.
2. Never trust a user online blindly,because that has been recorded as the most successful way of getting yourself in problem with a keylogger(I have been using this technique a lot,so trust me).User’s exchange files over internet even if they might have met only 1 hour before,they start to trust each other.But i would never suggest you to download a file from a user whom you have met recently.First get to know his reputation through other users ,do not trust blindfoldedly,even though he sounds convincing to you.These type of attackers always alure you with tempting offers,like giving out free premium accounts or any other piece of software that is available rarely.But this is just a trick for you to fall into their trap,and become a prey.
3.Before downloading a file online,please always run an online scan of that file.That is highly recommended.Many sites today are full of malwares and the files that are being uploaded are infected,so it’s better to run an online scan of file and test the file that whether it’ clean or not.Here are some of the best online scanners:
•Virus Total
•virusscan.jotii.org
Always keep these 3 points in your mind before downloading any file from a website or any user that provides you a download link.Keyloggers are really a dangerous piece of software used by many hackers worldwide to hack into your personal data and belongings.So always follow these steps, and be safe and secure.
