Internet for Beginners - Keyloggers


Expert: Angela Scott - 9/19/2008

Question
in GENERAL terms, what are some of the most effective ways to prevent keyloggers?

example: i use my pc at work to log into my bank accounts. when i finish i delete  the "cookies" and clear "history". will that help prevent keyloggers if one day my work pc gets a virus?  

Answer
Hi, thanks for your question.

Keyloggers can BE viruses. You need to get a better understanding of what they are and how they work before you can think about avoiding them. I've enclosed an example search:
http://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+a+keylogger&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-...

Questions like these are easily answered by performing relevant searches on the internet.

Regards,
Angela
