All these are hypes created by autosurf owners when they tempted to hack your egold account, BTW they're the ones who put the sites with malicious programs into the rotation.

There most definetly are keyloggers. You can even buy them to put on your friend's or enemie's or boss' computer. Of course there are also a lot of free ones...just look around the hacking sites and you can find plenty!

Stop using your keyboard to log in!! There are a couple of ways to do this. First, you can use a program like Roboform. This eliminates the necessity to use your keyboard for passwords - you can generate and insert passwords automatically by drag and drop or "Fill forms". The other way ? Windows has a virtual keyboard that you can use on screen - this bypasses your keyboard and therefore will thwart a keylogger if you are unlucky enough to have one. To find the Windows virtual keyboard: click 'Start' > All Programs > Accessories > Accessibility > On screen keyboard. Easy. And well worth remembering ! __________________ Don't have false hopes.

Hey Peterg,
Thank you for letting us know about the Windows virtual keyboard. It is just what I need , the price is right and it works. I am new to computers and it's amazing what is right under my fingertips.

GKP Where to invest??? Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 3	Try this I recommend you to work with Gold Keeper! I'm using it for a month. Entered passphrases from e-gold accounts once and keeping it encrypted! It allows me to spend funds with preview, to check balance automatically and overlook my history. It also has such cool tool like: "address book of e-gold accounts". Visit www.goldkeeper.net

Scott Senior Investor Join Date: Apr 2006 Posts: 296	Sorry for replying to such an old thread but I took a quick look at windows virtual keybaoard. Is it encrypted? The keyboard displays exactly the same every time. Can't a hacker realize mouse inputs (cursor coordinates) and thus realize....you know, blah blah? I'm guessing the virtual keyboards meant for thwarting hackers are exponentially better at it than the Windows virtual keyboard, meant primarly for handicap access as best I can surmise. ?? My eGold account was accessed by an unknown IP to me, which means they HAD to have my passphrase. I have only ever entered that passphrase on the eGold site and always with the eGold virtual keyboard thangy. The only thing I can figure is that I got sloppy sometime and was on a hacked eGold link, I dunno. Feh, since then, I only use bank wire for now. Peace Last edited by Scott : 19-05-2006 at 04:24 AM.

The best program I have seen for security is Process Guard. The first time you load it on your PC. It allows to to approve every process that is currently running on your PC. If a new process starts or attempts to modify a program or sys file, it will alert you.

I also use GoldKeeer, makes it easy to keep up with multiple egold accts. I have it set to check my balances each hour, so Im always aware of any activity. It eliminates the need to logon using your browser to check acct balances.

INTRODUCTION What is ProcessGuard?
DiamondCS ProcessGuard is a groundbreaking security system first released late in 2003 that protects Windows processes from attacks by other processes, services, drivers, and other forms of executing code on your system. ProcessGuard also stops applications from executing without the users consent, stops malicious worms and trojans from being executed silently in the background, as well as a variety of other attacks. ProcessGuard even stops most keyloggers and leaktests, and is recognised by many to be the most comprehensive anti rootkit solution available.

Why do I need it?
Security-conscious users on the Internet these days typically have a firewall and antivirus program at the very least, yet very few users are aware that these layers of security can easily be rendered null and void simply by terminating or modifying the host process. For example, a trojan could simply terminate your personal firewall before attempting to transmit your personal details over the Internet, effectively rendering the firewall useless and leaving the user with a false sense of security. Likewise, it could modify your antivirus program by patching it in memory so that it no longer detected any viruses, so even with a database update and even if it was a known trojan it would remain undetected. Rootkits are another serious threat, because once they've infected your system they can often be extremely difficult to detect (as they modify the operating system itself in order to hide, effectively becoming a stealth trojan). ProcessGuard allows you to block the installation of rootkit drivers, preventing any infection from occurring. Firewall bypass techniques are also another big security problem where ProcessGuard can lend a hand. These are just some of the many advantages you'll get from securing your system with ProcessGuard.

Main uses ...
Each capability of ProcessGuard is powerful in its own right. For example, a program which simply blocked a rootkit trojan from installing would be very valuable in its own right, yet this is just one feature of ProcessGuard! Here is just a brief list of some of the main uses of ProcessGuard:

Securing processes from being attacked (terminated, suspended, modified)
Controlling which programs are/aren't allow to run
Blocking rootkit trojans and other malicious drivers from installing
Protecting physical memory from malicious modification
Blocking hooks and code injections
Determining which programs are being executed on your system
Determining which programs are attacking others on your system
Analysing the inter-process behaviors of programs
Keeping a log of all programs that execute (important for post-infection analysis)

Main attacks ProcessGuard blocks ...
ProcessGuard protects against so many different types of attacks that it's difficult to combine them all into one list (for example, although it protects against process termination it secures over a dozen different "termination vectors" in order to accomplish this, so really it's protecting you against a lot more than just one attack).

Here are the main classes of attacks that ProcessGuard can protect against:
Unwanted/unknown process execution
Process/service termination
Process/service suspension
Process/code modification
Process/service crashing
Rootkit trojan installation
Firewall leaktest bypass methods
Hooks and code injections
Physical memory malicious modifications
Windows File Protection attacks
User Imitation attacks

Conclusion
Without a kernel-level security solution like ProcessGuard your system and the security software you run on it is vulnerable. ProcessGuard not only secures itself and the other processes on your system, it also secures your other security programs, allowing them to do their job without risk of termination or attack.

Scott Senior Investor Join Date: Apr 2006 Posts: 296	Interesting batt, thx. Anybody else use Process Guard? I know plenty use Goldkeeper. Btw, having to approve every process will be a pain on a "normal" computer, unless ya dig getting into researching just what each process is. Take a look at all the Processes running on your PC now, use Windows Task Manager....do you know exactly what each and every one is? Hehehe. Approving processes on a PC devoted to only financial transactions shouldn't be nearly as bad though.
