PC Spy Software

A PC Spy Software does exactly what it sounds like. It is software that runs on the PC to spy on the users that log onto it without the knowledge of the PC owner. It lets the owner know what the others that log on to the system do with it while the owner is away.
It secretly records all the key strokes and the screenshots and sends them through logs to Email without any physical intervention by the user. It is an extremely user friendly interface and the most interesting and viable feature is that the other unauthenticated user is unaware of its existence. The installation is a little complex since it requires all the programs already running to be shut down before the installation is complete.
PC Spy Software records the user name and the passwords entered by the unauthenticated user without actually revealing the fact that the information is being recorded. PC Spy Software monitors and records all latest versions Windows Live Messenger / Skype / MSN Messenger / ICQ / AOL Messenger / AIM / QQ / Yahoo! Messenger's chat conversations with applications used, websites visited etc. It also logs the username and password used to login in a messenger. The owner will know what was typed, where and when it was typed, and the owner will know who was talking to whom.
The PC Spy Software takes and saves screen shots of the desktop taken at regular intervals and stores it as a JPG format image. The time interval can be set according to convenience of the owner. It can be customized to even a screenshot every second.
It automatically delivers these logs to Email without any intervention. This is transferred in parts at regular intervals to the Email and even this can be configured by the owner. The best part with PC Spy Software is that the owner can track all the happenings remotely by logging on to some other machine even when the machine that is being monitored is on.
To open the PC Spy Software the owner needs to log on to the start menu and run the command to open it. It needs a password to be opened and hence an unauthorized user, even if he knows how to run it can’t reach it since the password is prompted before the software is opened. It cannot be stopped with a Task Manager nor can it be uninstalled.

Internet password security

Today’s computer and internet technologies are developing so rapidly, that there inevitably appear not only the pleasant things like comfort and mobility, but unfortunately more and more tools for internet swindle and hacking. To protect your accounts from break-ins, you need to follow certain internet password security rules.
In case when somebody is using some software or other methods to break your password, it won’t be a big trouble for him to deal with it, if you don’t follow the simple rules below:
• Do not use your personal info or words, easily associated with you.
• Do not ever use such words! Whether it is your dog’s name, or your grandmother’s birth date, for a hacker it’s an easy plunder.
• Do not using words that are in a dictionary.
• Nowadays there are software ways to try all dictionary words and find out your password.
• Do use special characters and letters of both upper and lower case.
• It’s much more secure than just letters and numbers.
• Do not make your password short.
• Take at least 8 symbols for a password.
• Do not use the same passwords for many accounts.
• And here is why: since one is broken – all the rest are broken too.
Other problem concerning internet password security is key loggers. A key logger is software or hardware that is tracking all the keys struck on the keyboard. You can never be sure that the keyboard you use in a public place doesn’t have a key logger. Some ways to avoid troublesome consequences of the encounter with a key logger are:

• Not using any keyboard except your own.
• Taking a laptop everywhere you go.

You can solve the both problems above and many other by using a security password manager. It is special software designed to make your password management easier and much more secure.

First of all, your internet password security level is never higher than with random passwords. And such software usually has tools for generating strong random passwords, without making you memorize them.
You can install a manager on a flash drive, and have it with you anywhere (much more convenient than carrying a laptop, isn’t it?). With such a program you won’t have to type your passwords – it will do it automatically. Here’s a way to defend against key loggers.
Internet password security suggests following the tips above, along with frequent changing of passwords. Whether you decide to manage your passwords yourself, or to rely on a password manager – do not forget to change passwords at least every two months.
