Hello
Is there a test to see whether someone has hacked into your pc and is reading your key strokes?
I run my a/v and malware scan regularly but don't know if they detect this type of intrusion.
Thank you

Help us out here - what AV and "malware scan" are you using?

For starters (without more info), I can suggest regular scans with a-squared Free (download here):
- http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/
"...Trojans, Viruses, Spyware, Adware, Worms, Bots, Keyloggers and Dialers..."

... but there are no "guarantees" for 100% detection anywhere - 'best is a probable 99%.

.

Hello
My a/v company does mention keyloggers in their coverage but I uderstand what you mean by there being no real guarantee.
Thank you very much for the referrals to look into and the helpful reply.
April 1st doesn't sound like a god day to be on line does it?

Horse manure. Some up-to-date AV's are currently "Scanning for 1331986 virus strains and unwanted programs...". Conficker is just a few of them.

IMHO, don't buy into all the media hype - there's way too much of it.

I'm old enough to not digest the media but too unskilled with pcs to dicern good from bad.
Manure sounds great in this case.
Thank you
