I moved here a created a locked office so when I was going to meet my son I could pad lock the office. Kingstree is a quite town and I began to leave the padlock of if I was running to the post office or not going to be away long.

My new dell laptop with Mcfee was left at home. It ran a virus check by itself at night. I awoke one morning to find a virus check found a PUP Potentially unwanted program. It named it and I Googled for info and explained clearly to me that this is not a virus program, it is a maintenance software tool, and a program for business owner to make sure their computers we use for the intended purpose – OK OK…. but it explained that it could not be downloaded by email, or though a properly working firewall (meaning never have two firewalls – use only one – two allows these programs and viruses to trick one egoist the other. MOST importantly this Keylogger could only be installed by disk of flash card or administrator of a network or wireless network and in that group unless you are good there can be holes – but I chose no wireless, I was hard lined from the out side to my computer.

The only way it could have been put there the day before was via a flash card – or Thumb drive. Later explained to me by a network supervise all the needed was about 4 minutes and the have the program parameters (what the want monitored and how frequently and where they want the information transmitted to) He said in big cities the thing to do for cuber criminals is to drop these is offices and people pick them up and figure free thumb drive and then the use it and likely go home with it, so neve let you friend use his thumb drive in your computer because it compounds to proliferate.

44 hours of Dell Tech Support later on a Cell Phone with a bill over $900 I refused to accept Dells service and demanded another computer and only then did I get ridd of the Keelogger…. Police would do nothing even though we had a copy of the instruction file and it was being sent to mu ex email. It was worthless later in court. Why, a certified forensic computer expert did not find and verify it was not contaminated like OJ’s glove.

This is serious stuff. Account numbers clearly recorded. I am told it is so clean that if you have a Cabelas account the greet you Welcome and if you purchase express you out with the last card you used…. Bank Transfers – no problem Transaction history – no problem – address book no big deal all updated each day mine the hit 4 times so it would only take about 90 seconded of the disk reading and writing.

There are practical uses for these programs but only in large network environments.

how hard is it to get and to use…. I could have downloaded one -set it up and put it on a thumb drive three times writing this.

If you are contemplating a divorce – see a computer security expert – have them check your wireless router.

These things are as popular as baby monitors now.

My ex had a friend stake out my house. Walk up act as if to knock and five minutes later gone.

Good luck
