The Big Picture of Spy Programs
Mitch Johnson
Keyloggers are a large threat to any type of computer users but anti-spyware software makers have announced users must beware of more than just keyloggers. The threats of spyware are vast, meaning internet users need to arm themselves from as much as they can. Using only a programs that guards against keyloggers will give users a false sense of security.
Other spyware threats can monitor your computer usage, redirect emails, and record chats, instant messages and URLs visited. It is important for computer users to be educated on all of these threats and protect their privacy with an all inclusive spyware program. Keyloggers are dangerous because they log every key typed on the infected computer. Email redirectors can be dangerous applications to have because they are often silent spy programs that copy incoming and outgoing emails to send back to the intruder who can read and use the information for a variety of advertising or theft purposes.
Chat, instant message and URL loggers monitor messaging programs, such as AOL Instant Messenger, and log the sites you visit. Still other forms of spyware take snapshots of your desktop at given times so that the intruder may see your work in progress like a slide show. With all of these additional spy programs threatening computers it is necessary for users to realize more than just keyloggers exist. Software makers suggest users get one or more spyware tools that protect against a variety of threats so that all possible intrusions are being caught and stopped or removed.
