Be careful to used a Public Computer that suspiciously had a keylogger

Thursday, 10 February 2011

Take care when using public computers, I had a bad experience with this. One time my friend send an important document via e-mail to me. Since that time my internet connection is very slow, so I went to Internet cafes to check my email. after downloading that documents and reply e-mail to my friend, I returned to my home.

At night when my internet connection is back to normal, I was trying to check my email. I was very surprised because my e-mail inbox was empty. I try to repeat the login and the results are still empty. I immediately tried to find what happened to my email, and after discussions with friends on the forum, they say that the possible causes is a keylogger. I remembered that I had opened my email at internet cafe before. I am disappointed with the service that Internet cafés. I tried to complain but they just said that someone who has installed the spyware on a that computer is not them, the possibility of other users who have done it. My friend gave me advice if someday I should be using a public computer that I’d been suspiciously had a keylogger. "All you had to do just simply! Never type your password by using keyboard keys. Never hit any keys on your keyboard to enter your password".

The alternative ways to avoid the keylogger activities, You can copy paste your password, letter by letter from any that available in the web page. If you had a trouble finding the proper letter for your password, you can create a sentence or paragraph that contain the letter or all character on keyboard, than save it in text (notepad). For example, if your password is s34n5um1d0, type all the characters starting from the number 0-9 and letters a - z on notepad then copy paste the combined characters one by one till it make your password. So, you can avoid the activities of the keyloggers.
