My friend, Sellvam called last night and told me his e-gold money was stolen. He lost about US$100 from his e-gold account. He askes me why is this happened and I was wondering how to explain to him in this topic.

Thanks to mightyhitter on his post ?How to Avoid Keyloggers on Your PC?. It is just the right post and I will ask Sellvam to read on this topic.

You might wonder what Keyloggers is all about. In summary, it is a spyware installed in your PC and records every single of your keyboard and mouse movement and stroke. A lot of hackers use that to hack personal info such as bank accounts, email, and any websites that require your password verification process. For more definition on Keyloggers, you can visit 1) Security focus 2) Wikipedia or 3) search from Google. Beware of some of the websites are actually Keyloggers sites, so don?t install any program when pop-up windows come up.
