Re: keystroke logging

Keystroke logging will typically create a file on the hard drive to record the
data in. You might be able to locate such a file by doing a search of the hard
drive by date - it would have the current date on the file if it were running at
all times.

Another type of key logger is a small device that is connected to the back of
your PC in between the keyboard cable and the PC. In order for the person who
placed the device there to read the info on it, they would have to retrieve the
device from the PC.

There may be key loggers that send data 'live' to another PC somewhere, but I'm
not aware of any. You might be able to locate such a logger (or one that writes
to a file) by checking Task Manager to see what is running on the PC.

About keystroke logging-
if you suspect it might be on your computer, if someone might have done that
what are some of the signs that the computer has it.
Ive read it can be transmitted to a computer without actually coming in
contact with the pc, like it can be done through sending a greeting card, etc

keystorke logging programs can send saved documents to whoever might be
doing this, because this program records every key stroke you make-
Can it record/send documents that are not saved, like when you're just
typing in Word, and just exit it without not saving?
