Why you should not use keystroke logging software!

There have been recent changes in the computer spyware/ anti-spyware software arena.  I will summarize them here:

Software keyloggers:

Software keyloggers record all keystrokes/ screen captures and store them on the computer hard drive.  This consumes hard drive space and uses CPU cycles (slowing down the computer).  There are hundreds of software keylogger programs available.  As more keyloggers have been released, the attack against them has been increasing.  Many popular anti-virus scanners, including McAfee, have added detection of software keyloggers to their list of capabilities.  No matter how well a software keylogger is written, there is always going to be software that can detect it.

Anti-spy (software keylogger detectors):

Anti-spy programs detect and/or remove spyware from the computer system, and are gaining a greater presence in the market.  Some popular programs are: SpyCop, SpyDetect, NetCop and SpyGuard.  SpyCop (www.spycop.com) advertises that it can detect over 300 commercially available key logger programs.  Anti-virus programs are also adding detection of spy-ware to their list of capabilities.

Erasers:

Erasers delete the history of visited web sites, e-mails, chat rooms, and other activities.  Programs such as Evidence Destroyer, and Don't Be Caught! address this issue. These programs are great for erasing your tracks, but also may erase things that were not intended.

You may be asking yourself:  Where does the KEYKatcher fit in to this picture?  Well, It doesn't.  The tiny KEYKatcher device (about the size of an AA battery), steps around all of the software.  The KEYKatcher hardware is not detectable by any anti-spy or anti-virus program.  The KEYKatcher cannot be erased by any program(eraser) installed on the PC.  It remains completely benign until the password is typed.  Our patent pending approach to computer monitoring continues to grow.

The U.S. Department of Justice recommends that a banner notice indicating the keystroke monitoring policy be placed on all  computer systems that will be conducting keystroke monitoring.  The banner should give clear and unequivocal notice to intruders that by signing on and using the system, they are expressly consenting to having their keystrokes monitored or recorded during their computer session.  If an unauthorized intruder downloads an authorized user's file, keystroke monitoring will record both the intruder's download command and the name of the compromised accessed file.
