Keylogger VS Notepad

Security Add comments

Keyboard_logger Have you heard about Keylogger’s program?, it’s a program which able to records any written text from your computer’s keyboard, some of them also available to capture your computer’s screen every a couple minutes and if you connected through internet, they will send the record’s log to the suspect via email, it’s absolutely a dangerous program when it used for illegal activities. With this program, someone may take any information from the potential victim’s computer, such as credit card’s information, bank’s account, email account, password, etc. But we have not to worry about that, since some antivirus can detect and remove those programs like Norton, McAfee, Norman, etc. But we have a little problem when we are connected from public’s computer. How we can trust them even they have an antivirus on there?. The following tips may help you to solve these problems:

As I told you before, the Keylogger’s programs are able to records any written text from computer’s keyboard (keyboard activity), it’s mean whatever you have wrote on the computer, will be recorded and logged by this program. But they cannot to translate a copy-paste (Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v) event. It’s mean if you copy and paste a character or some text, they are unable to translate into text. That’s the point, what we have to do when we found the above case. By these algorithms we can prevent the keylogger activity using a simple program like a Notepad program from Microsoft Windows operating system. For an example: Let’s say you want to login to your email address like Yahoo, Gmail or may be you want to login to Paypal, Ebay, etc from a public’s computer. It’s a simple way, just open a Notepad program and make an alphabet-numeric text on it, from A to Z (Upper case) and a-z (Lower case) also do not forget a numeric character 0-9. What you need to do is to copy and pastes the character from the Notepad to the login field about your username and password of your email, until they match with your username and password spell. That’s it, good luck to try!.
