Spyware Threats

Spyware Threats

Key loggers pose one of the most serious spyware dangers. A key logger is usually a Trojan and captures keyboard input on an infected computer. Once the information has been captured (logged), the Trojan transmits it to a third party. Key loggers are designed to capture account numbers, user names, passwords, credit card numbers and other useful information. Key loggers operate silently in the background. Without appropriate spyware protection, you may never know that a computer has been infected with a key logger.

Last week, three new variants of a known key logger, Lemir, were discovered. Malware programmers create variations to accomplish specific tasks, correct bugs, or to evade anti-malware software. A single malware application can have hundreds of variants. Key loggers are usually tagged as “critical” infections because they can capture and forward sensitive information. It’s important to know when your computer has been infected with a key logger.
