Here are some computer security programs that you should take advantage of, even if you have a firewall (i.e. ZoneAlarm) and Anti-Virus software:

Finding a Key Logger: A Key Logger does what is sounds like it does. Hidden software records every key stroke and sends them to the bad guys. So for example, you log into your local bank with your ID and password. Say bye-bye to your money if there is a key logger on your system. There is a FREE program called KL-Detector available from http://www.dewasoft.com/privacy/kldetector.htm You can download it and run it. It will allow you to test whether there is a key logger on your system, and then tell you where it is, and help you get rid of it. The program is FREE and has been tested by thousands of smart people.

Removing Spyware: Spyware may do anything from popping up unwanted advertisements or porno pix on your system to literally spying on your system. Because it gets on to your system with Internet Web usage, it is very prevalent and dangerous. Anti-Virus software may not catch spyware, because it is not a virus, and you may have voluntarily downloaded a file that contained the malicious code. There is a FREE program called "Spybot Search and Destroy" which is highly regarded in the industry. You can obtain a copy of the program at http://www.safer-networking.org

Finding Rootkits: A RootKit is one of the newest and worst crimes in computing. Very simply put it overwrites Windows system files with their own versions of these files. Then the bad version can make your system into a slave for the owner of the root kit file. Getting rid of these bad guys is no easy task. But here is a good program that will help find the offending files and offer help about how to get rid of them. It is called "Systernals Rookitrevealer" and can be found at http://www.systernals.com/utilities/rootkitrevealer.html Of course it is FREE too.
