PC Keyloggers
All,
I've had one instance fraudulent activity on PayPal (someone buying Toy 'R' Us stuff in the USA) and think I may have picked up a keylogger somewhere as I don't click on any emails etc. that appear in my emails. I've run a scan with Kaspersky, Spybot - Search & Destroy as well as Malware Bytes and they've found nothing but I'm still a little worried (OK, very paraniod!) Short of doing a clean install (which the laptop needs but I wasn't planning on doing just yet) is there anything else some of you computer wizards can suggest? Cheers, Ian

Sorry as someone working in IT security I'd do a clean install. What AV have you got installed and does it include a virtual keyboard?
Also do you have more than one PC / laptop in the house? For example I do genera surfing and downloading from one. I do my finances from the other.

Mikey,
You're backing up what I'm thinking. I'm in the process of backing up my documents to an external drive ready for the clean install. I'm running Kaspersky 2009 Internet Security with Spybot - Search & Destroy running too. Neither of them (to my knowledge) have virtual keyboards. I can't find the Kaspersky disc for after the format, what free AV would you recommend? I've only got the one laptop so I'm stuck with that.

Do you have the license for Kapersky? If you right click on the icon in the toolbar I think it'll come up with virtual keyboard..
You may be able to export the license in kapersky? Did you get it with the machine? 2009 license also allows you to run 2010 from what I've found. Another option is to install virtual PC with and XP image running in that and do you banking in that. Another security tip... Phone the credit card company every so often to say you've lost the card. Bingo new card number. I do that due to a lot of online shopping The new Windows Security Essentials from Microsoft is free. Novatech do Kapersky for peanuts as do overclockers.co.uk
