How can I check if I got some keyloggers on my laptop.

I have been told I have keyloggers on my laptop. I would check this for me. How can I do to verify this?

Hi Liv,

More anti virus applications locate the key recording software and quarantine it for you. So, I would like to start by giving your system a scan complete antivirus. You might like also to download the free version of Malwarebytes Anti malware http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ and run that.

Removal of the main recorder software manually is not an easy thing to do. You should know what you're doing. These links may be useful:

http://HOWTO.CNET.com/8301-11310_39-20050505-285/how-to-remove-keyloggers/

http://www.2-spyware.com/keyloggers-removal

Even if you don't find anything on your PC a good keeper safe is the freeware application called Keyscrambler. http://www.qfxsoftware.com/download.htm Make sure you download the free version. This is exactly as its name suggests - it blurs your keystrokes at the keyboard makes it impossible for the key recording software to tell exactly what you type. For example you can type, say, LIV. The keyscrambler would interpret it as, say H3m. While the word Liv would look normal to you, for a logging key application it would be useless.

  • How can I check replacement memory is correct for the following laptop:

    I'm considering a purchase in the next 2 months of this device: HP ProBook 4530 s (XU016UT #ABA).  Is there a list indicating the memory that is compatible with this unit of the brand and model?  I'm looking at this particular unit: Corsair Memory - 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3 SODIMM Memory (CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9 The 4530 comes with Win 7 Pro 32 bit OS, so it will use more than 4 GB of memory.)  Thanks for any help you can offer.  Jim.

    Hi, Jim:

    This memory should work, but only 4 GB will be usable with a 32-bit operating system. You need a 64-bit operating system to take advantage of more than 4 GB of memory.

    When you receive your laptop, call HP at this number below and see if they will send you a W7 Pro 64 bit game of fast laptop restore disks and if you decide to install 8 GB of memory, you can install the 64-bit operating system.  You will need the model number and serial number handy.

    1-800-334-5144

    You can use almost no portable PC3-1333 ECC memory.

    This memory will work:

  • How can I check if my computer is ok? I got an unsolicited phone call and allowed them to access my computer

    This morning, I got a phone call from an Asian man, saying: he has worked with microsoft, I found it very difficult to understand what he was saying and to rehearse a lot, he mentioned "Alureon" and says that my computer is one of the computers on crash today... He then wen on say that they should do support remotely. to help solve the problem, stupidly and against everything I've known I have allowed him... .it all seemed very alarming... it said my computer was about to crash in a few moments and I had to buy the red shield to protect... I hung up, but they called back... ultimately I told them I wasn't buying any and at this point, he got quite angry and asked me why I was wasting his time. How can I check my computer to make sure they did not hurt? and they can access my computer later? I'm asuming that Microsft had nothing to do with it.

    Hello

    It's a scam.

    If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, explain, and change passwords.

    If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

    And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

    Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

    Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

    There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one

    Read this Information from Microsoft:

    "Avoid scams to phone for tech support.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

    Don't be fooled of unsolicited calls. Don't provide personal information.

    Here are some of the organizations that cyber criminals claim to come:

    • Helpdesk Windows

    • Windows repair center

    • Microsoft technical support

    • Microsoft technical support

    • Windows Support Group Technical Department

    • Microsoft Research and Development Team (team of Microsoft R & D)

    See you soon.

  • I blocked some photos in facebook by accident, the toddler got click happy. How can I remove this block in some photos?

    I blocked some photos in facebook by accident, the toddler got click happy. How can I remove this block in some photos?

    With Facebook on display, click the button to the site identity (for more details on what is, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button) and then on more information. This will open the page info dialog box.

    First, select the permissions tab, make sure that 'Load the Images' is set to allow (default selection should work as well)

    Then select the media tab, and then click the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll the list. If any element has the option 'Images of block of (field name)' selected, deselect the option.

    This should hopefully solve your problem, but see also https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Images+or+animations+do+not+show

    Some add-ons can also block images, for example, if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block images.

  • How can I check ink using Windows 8.1 levels

    How can I check the ink levels using Windows 8.1. for my Deskjet F2100 to all-in-one series printer.

    I got a new computer with Windows 8.1. already installed and well that my

    printer works normally, I have no ink or HP support or a level indicator

    other tools, HP etc.  I checked the HP website offering me to go to START >

    CONTROL PANEL > PRINTER & DEVICES.   Right click on the printer preference.

    Services and choose the LEVEL of INK.  But there is no photo ink level click on.

    Consider that HP did not compatible for this printer software and Windows 8.1?

    Help, please.

    Hi Elsie, welcome to the forums

    I will examine with pleasure for you to see if your model of printer available with Windows 8.1 full software. First of all, please let me know what model Deskjet F2100 you have and I'll do some research!

    In the meantime, you can run the HP printer install wizard for Windows to see if the tool installs the complete driver. If it is available, you will have the available printer software on your desktop that you can open to view ink levels.

    I have an old iPhone 4S.  Lately, it seems the need to run down like its drain more, but little or no running applications.  I have try to disable wifi not at home so that it tries to connect to those that I can't use.  But the battery I don't know maybe just petering.  How can I check to see how healthy is it?  I'm in iOS 9.3.5.  I'm not running the location Services for ex.  But ask how can I see how many times he's been charged, or there at - it a good free or paid software that will tell me his health?  Sounds to the purchase of new phone 5 or higher at some point, but cannot yet.

  • I want to install firefox addon called "youtube video and audio downloader 0.3.5 by Chris. How can I check to see if it has malware

    How can I check if the program 'youtube downloader video and audio by Chris 0.3.5 has malicious software.
    When I go to download it has chain

    I'm so nervous about downloading anything for fear of getting my hijacked browser or worse, because it's already happened twice. Any advice on this program or if there is a similar program to download youtube, who is known to be squeaky clean?

    Too, I have youtube downloader video and audio 0.3.5 by Chris on FF but have not used a lot or not at all. Today, Avast gave me a warning (probably a Malware DB recent update) that this product has very bad side. My two main concerns are a possible Trojan and adware popups - horse for now that I only have those on a single site, The Pirate Bay, but they are devilishly difficult to get rid of.

    Avast and some other malware utilities not come with Trojan horses, but I saw a EULA (on Board of another, may not be the same product) which explicitly stated the software would share information on the internet, probably tunnel through the firewall. Malware utilitie which would detect as a Trojan horse, or that they would assume that I installed it intentionally? How do they know?

    Are modules which arise on the FF Add-ons Manager > get guaranteed by Mozilla addons?

  • How can I check the disc for physical integrity on Satellite P305?

    I have P305-S8838.

    I had some freezing problems earlier this month, and on the notice here, I nu start-up and reduced services a little at a time.
    Now, I have a few more crash but don't know if it's a physical disk problem.

    For example... I have run CHKDSK and does many things and happens at the exact same spot and hangs at step 4 file 5 3498 or 421168 processed.

    I tried to run CHKDSK in SafeMode but tells me drive is locked and it will run when I restart. But the restart put back me in normal mode and get the same hang.

    Now, for more suspicion of a physical problem. I tried to make a disk image with ACronis and same problem occurs because he says impossible to reading data 226 964, 072 sector and ask if I want to ignore and continue. I say yes to everything. Log shows he made about three of these attempts and crashes.

    I ran sfc/scannow and it says found problems that he was unable to fix. The newspaper isn't so long and complex course that all means. I could send these log files if someone can help me understand.

    I ran the test of memory OK.

    I if I could put in DVD Toshiba and certain diagnoses, but when I put in the disk I get this big warning I'll crush, etc and I have chicken.

    This didn't stop me to use the computer, but its all irritating.

    How can I check the disc for physical integrity?

    Hello

    He idea goo to check the HARD disk and run some diagnostic procedures.
    For this, I recommend the freeware tool called Drive Fitness Test.
    It allows you to check the HARD disk for certain physical defects.

    Google for this tool. You can get it from multiple pages download

  • I am a new player. How can I check my SD files?

    I am a new player. How can I check my SD files?

    Hello Alexban,

    I got a new customer (on the same network) and having the same problem as you. It took a bit of "Violin" to solve this one, but basically here's what you do: -.

    Your homescreen launch your application by clicking on the tab background Center tray can find quick Office and launch it. This will essentially ask you if you want to receive updates etc. and take you to a site Web etc (don't worry open office is not an online application, it is built into your phone). Away Web site, close the browser window by pressing the menu on the right key lower and then tapping on the exit button to end the browsing session.

    Once you do this, you will see a file indicating the memory card and another who says that recent documents. From there, you type just the memory card icon and you get a complete disassembly of all your files.

    I hope this helps, and if you get stuck again just post another message and I'll look out for it and try to explain another way.

    Good luck and best regards - Roy...
