I THINK MY BRO INSTALLED IT TO SPY ON ME

I think i have a 'key logger' installed on my computer. help?

ive been typing with the on-screen keyboard to counter act it.

but its so slowww.

my friend told me to goto Cntrlpanel-->add remove prog. but i didnt see anything suspicious (then again i ddint know what half the sh*t was)

how can i get rid of it? how can i identify it? or if i cant do that erase the stored data it records

i need to manually get rid of it. i cant download stuff (the computer is really screwy. dont ask)

Answer 1

Check what you have running in your startup programs. To see what programs are currently running on start-up, in Windows XP or Vista click on Start, select Run, then type MSCONFIG and hit the Enter key. Select the Startup tab from the dialog box. Here you can deselect any items that are running that you don't actually need when you first start your computer up or are suspicious. Select Apply after deselecting the startup applications and reboot the system.

* This will also speed up your PC.

SPYWARE CLEANER 2008 HAS A VIRUS WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD IT SO I RECOMMEND YOU STAY AWAY FROM THAT! TRY ONLINE SCANS ITS BETTER!-
