Recently our system has been the target of unauthorized Key Logging programs. We are running Windows 2000 Professional. In the first instance we were able to remmove it by going into safe mode and deleting the file. Within days another one was loaded, this time a bit smarter as after two attempts to remove it in safe mode we were unable to get into safe mode, or boot from a CD or the floppy drive until the system had been powered down completely for several hours.
With the recent Nazification of the US and the so called Homeland Security operation which intends to access any and all information, it appears likely that we will see a very rapid increase in these key logggers being dumped on us.
There appears to be only one program called “Anti-Keylogger” which claims to identify these programs and to delete them. I have not had the opportunity to try other than the free version which will NOT remove the programs. When you pay the $60 it will.
Can we get some brain power applied to this problem before it becomes an epidemic.
Also a serious legalpoint arrises that any communication appears to be getting monitored by the US regardless of origin or destination, so that any communication passing through the US is goingto be liable for interception though it may have nothing to do with the US or anyone in the US. As a Canadian I have very strong objections to the US interfering with my business for any reason.
