Attention! Your computer may not be as safe as you think it is at this moment.
There are programs out there designed to keep track of what you do on your computer and access confidential information that you have entered on your computer.
These programs are referred to as remote keyloggers in which they are usually sent through e-mail with an executable file attached to them.
When the receiver of these executable attachments runs the .
exe file, the keylogger is then released into the computer just like that and now you basically have no privacy on your computer.
The sender of this keylogger can now monitor your activities and just about anything that you do on your computer.
They can monitor anything from internet activity, documents you have viewed, online chats, any information that you enter in your computer, and applications that you run.
Sometimes you are not able to detect when a keylogger enters your computer and viola! Just like that you could be giving away any confidential information or documents that you may have.
Once one of these suckers hits your computer you really can't keep anything confidential anymore.
If you find that someone has been logging or viewing your private information then you should seek o have your computer sweeped and cleaned immediately.
If your anti-virus/spyware software does not detect the material then you should have your computer cleaned and back up any important files that you may need in the future.
There are people out looking for a way to make the quick dollar and they will sometimes do whatever it takes to make it.
Even if it means hacking into your computer system and stealing any information that you may have.
Whether it is a credit card number or a bank account.
