AVG is excellent software; free, too! But you should update the virus definitions database at least once a week.
IMHO, a firewall that protects against just inbound threats, such as that built into Win XP SP2, is worthless as it does not protect against unwanted outbound traffic such as keyloggers calling home.
FWIW, I use the free(!) Kerio firewall. Excellent!
Short answer: Do a Google search on keylogger.
What a pointless comment.
It's software that can be installed remotely that will monitor and record all your keystrokes and then report to an external computer (transmits home) via the internet.
It's a very dangerous software in the sense that someone could obtain all your private information including passwords just by recording your keyboard strokes.
Thank you! I will try Kerio at once.
So technically, a foreign government could spy on any of us with no warrant, and then the US government could use the information, correct? A big sidestep around any Constitutional protection.
I don't know. I just get the impression that we bought this on the recommendation of the State Dept. to ingratiate ourselves with leftist, big brother types in the EU. Frist gets another demerit as majority leader, IMHO. I like the Barr's idea that the House should refuse to fund it.
BTW, from the comments on this thread, it doesn't seem that many care about their liberty too much, IMHO.
In my experience, most lawmakers voting on bills are blissfully and dangerously unaware of anything!

If they were aware of anything they would have a great reluctance to pass a law of any kind except under extreme duress.
They'll all of the sudden discover they care if any branch of government goes to the dems.
You're welcome.
What anti-Spyware software are you running?
