To know if you have one, run some decent virus software or look for unusual process in the taskmanager.Originally Posted by Vipul Motiwala
As for emailing logs, get [URL="www.win-spy.com/"]win-spy[/URL] which will design a file for you with your email receiving the logs.

Antivirus programs are redundant if you are a smart user of the Internet and are conscious of the threats out there. The 'safety' they offer is not really justified by the large amount of resources they consume.
The only situation I can see where they're necessary is scanning downloaded files for viruses, and this is a one-time thing where you could only run the AV program when necessary.
Saying that, I use them when on Windows, but mostly because of laziness to remove them.
so can you please s***est something which can help me better or some tips which i can follow to stay protected and do not completely depend on antivirus.... and ya... as i asked earlier how can i detect keyloogers on my pc?
It's simple really...so can you please s***est something which can help me better or some tips which i can follow to stay protected and do not completely depend on antivirus....
*) Have an antivirus and antispyware program(s)..
2) Keep those programs updated (search for updates atleast once a week)..
*) Scan things you download..
4) Turn window's auto-update on, so updates wil be automatically installed..
5) Have a firewall (and turn it on) (windows now have a free firewall in xp)..
6) Monitor your computer for unusual things..
7) And most importantly, educate yourself
What he said ^. And if in doubt, run a packet sniffer for a few hours and you'll know if you are hosting any unwanted activity.
More points:
- Use Firefox if you want to be safe from most online threats (most are targeted at IE). To be even safer, use a form of Linux. At the moment it's not worthwhile for script kiddies to target non-IE users.
- Encrypt your router's WiFi (if you use it).
- Use Msconfig and Regedit to find programs automatically starting on each boot; remove them if they look suspicious.
Still thanx for ur tips ..... but Hey Troll you know what..... i'm not that stupid...ok... i asked MIKE and not u... so ur not the one who shuld tell me that i should educate myself... and judging by ur last line.... there is one thing that u shuld educate urself with... that is MANNERS....It's simple really...

thank you MIKE..... by the i follow the *st and the *rd one but i'm not familiar with this encryption of router... can u help or direct me to any tutorials
I didn't mean to offend you..Still thanx for ur tips ..... but Hey Troll you know what..... i'm not that stupid...ok... i asked MIKE and not u... so ur not the one who shuld tell me that i should educate myself... and judging by ur last line.... there is one thing that u shuld educate urself with... that is MANNERS....
If you were only asking Mike then you should have sent him a private message instead of posting your question on a public forum.
By educating yourself i meant learn more about computer security, you may not be "that stupid" but you obviously don't know everything about computer security otherwise you wouldn't have asked about keyloggers. In fact, i'm sure no-one knows everything about internet security.
If you believe you know enough about it then don't educate yourself... my tips were only tips, not orders.
You are the one being an asshole. He was trying to help you. And 'educate yourself' is not offending and is something you need to do.

He helped you; nothing was malicious.
There are * choices currently when setting up a router--WEP, WPA or no encryption. WEP is a security technology that protects your network from casual laptop users connecting, but is easily crackable. WPA is considered to be better than WEP, but there are several articles explaining weaknesses in it. If you opt to have no encryption, this is bad in all situations apart from when you want plausible deniability ("I have an open WiFi network--someone else hacked the government.").thank you MIKE..... by the i follow the *st and the *rd one but i'm not familiar with this encryption of router... can u help or direct me to any tutorials
You do know this is all for wireless networks, right? Wired LANs don't really need encryption.
As for tutorials, read your router's manual; things vary with different machines.
By clearing it.... i am sure u didn't..ok i am also sry...
it's not with his willingness to help but the way he said it... any normal person can take that line as an offence... and also the way he laid stress on educate urself seemed offensing bt now that he has cleared it i have no probs...UNDERSTAND
