Hello. I guess I'm just being really paranoid about keyloggers... I have a few questions I'm hoping someone can answer.
And by the way, Geek Squad is completely unhelpful.
- How would you know if you are being keylogged, or have ever been keylogged?
- Would a keylogger only be active during certain programs, or is it always running in the background?
- Can it be "uninstalled" by the person who is running it, as in, if it's on my computer am I only the only who has the power to get rid of it or can they?
- Can someone get my information through a key log through remote assistance? A friend of mine was helping me with some things through that, but I worry if he had a keylogger on his computer that it would have been able to get personal information of mine. I also worry the keylogger could have "transfered" over to my computer somehow.
Regardless to say I am pretty computer illiterate and would appreciate any answers.
I have run a few spyware programs and they said everything was fine, and I have an antivirus program as well that has not detected anything (that I know of).
Also the Geek Squad agent I talked to said that he was concerned by I am not the administrator of my computer? Yet this is how it was since I got it, and I googled it, and it seems that it's just that way for many people. But he acted like I needed to get it changed.
