- November 27, 2004, 05:46:38 PMBTW, if you're worried about spyware, you should have Ad Aware (freeware), Spy Sweeper (Shareware, 1 free definition update) or Spybot Search and Destroy (Freeware). All are good, and I would suggest downloading all 3 and running them all twice in a row if you've never ran a spyware sweeper before. Run each one once a week. After a month keep the two that find the most spyware.
I kept Ad aware and broke down and bought the definition subscription for Spybot. But others feel different than me, and prefer Spybot... Like I said, keep the ones that find the most things on your computer...

- November 27, 2004, 09:30:42 AMspeaking of employers, i saw on one of those cold case files shows a story about some murderer that used some guy's name and SSN for work. The poor victim ended up paying thousands of $ of the murderer's taxes before the guy was stopped. The victim ended up doing most of the investigation himself because the IRS wouldn't do anything about it, even though he could prove that he wasn't traveling the states, working all the odd jobs the murderer was working in his name.

- November 27, 2004, 06:33:12 AMThe problem with averages is there are probably a lot of $100 losses in that $2500 average as well as some whoppers.
Identity theft has literally wiped some people out -- even before you start counting the loss to their quality of life from creditors they know nothing about hounding them over debts or years spent getting a new SSN.

- November 27, 2004, 04:47:05 AMThat just happened to a local lady here where I live. She went to buy a new car, only to find out that she had 5 other cars in her name that she had no clue about. They went through her computer and found out that she had some kind of spyware or something on there that was recording everything she did and someone used her information to buy a whole bunch of crap in her name. Scary scary stuff

- November 27, 2004, 03:03:41 AMIt should scare you. It's a very serious problem. Between keylogging and phishing scams people are having their identities stolen, bank accounts cleaned out etc. :-\

- November 26, 2004, 10:10:12 PMa keylogger records and logs all your keystrokes (and usually sends that information to a 3rd party without your knowledge).
will record everything .. logging into you bank, paypal, websites .. everything.

- November 26, 2004, 10:08:14 PMIsn't that a program that records all the keys you press. I think it is used to get passwords and credit card info and crap like that.

A crack is a tool for stealing software by removing the shareware limitations or other copy protection or is a program with the protections removed.
Many of the individuals who make cracks are the same script kiddies who want to take over computers for DDOS attacks etc. As a result, a lot of cracks have trojans, keyloggers, viruses etc.
May I ask what a "Keylogger" is?

- November 26, 2004, 04:33:36 PMThe file sharing networks are a mess. If you are looking to download programs music etc from these networks you are virtually guaranteed to download 1 or more of the following things Bob mentions. It's even been rumored that the music and film industry are purposely uploading programs that will intentionally harm your computer. There are some very nasty things that some people choose to attach to these files and could possibly do irreparable harm to your pc. Not to mention you could face possible prosecution as many people have found out the hard way by downloading pirated stuff.
