Protect yourself against keylogger

All of us are aware of keyloggers. The people who still don’t know what keylogger is, let me tell them that it is a software installed in some computer system that keep tracks of key stroked made by the user. Hackers use these software’s to record the keystrokes of victim when victim types his password. Here I am telling you guys how to protect yourself from being a victim of keylogger.

 

Enable a firewall:

Firewall donot stops the keylogger software to enter your system but it stops keylogger to send your information.

It is always strictly recommended that firewall is enabled on your system.

Use good anti-virus, avoid cracked or pirated softwares:

Use good anti-virus software like McAfee, Norton, Quick Heal, also you can go with free ones like Avast and AVG. They help you to protect yourself from keyloggers.

Please avoid downloading cracked anti-viruses from Torrentz because it’s home of viruses and hackers, also it’s illegal to pirate a software.

 

How to fool the keylogger:

These were the tips to stop keyloggers to enter your computer, now I will tell you some tips that how to fool a keylogger.

1. If you doubt that the system you are using have a keylogger installed then you can use onscreen keyboard to fool the software. To use onscreen keyboard simply type osk in run.

2. Keylogger runs in the background .Always check out for suspicious processes using task manger and end them.

3.Type two-three random characters in your password field and then use mouse to select them all, then start typing your real password. This will give some extra characters with password to the hacker. Eg: if your password is “asdfgh”, then you should type “wrogb” and select them all and then type your real password. So like this “asdfgh” will be sent to computer but “wrognasdfgh” will be sent to keylogger.

4. Also you can sniff a keyloggers ftp password using a sniffer software, some sniffers are named as wireshark and cain&able.
