How to Stop a Snooping KeyLogger
A keylogger is a malware program that records all of the keys that you type on your keyboard and then sends this information to a third party. Programs that do this often download and install on your computer without permission and are often specifically designed to steal your personal information, such as bank account passwords. If you think a keylogger is on your computer, it's a good idea to use some anti-spyware software to find and eliminate it.
