A little bit of history

The very first spy software representatives weren’t even called “spy software”. They were the little applications build up in the computer science labs by enthusiastic students, or just geeks looking for fun. Meanwhile, in the background, the secret information services already had some similar applications going on and it is known now that FBI used “magic lantern”, a similar monitoring software.
For the general public, the first officially known application of catching keystrokes was KeyKey Monitor released by Mikkotech. Their primarily goal was to aim the application towards security and back-up reasons, but through a reseller, Mikkotech has started selling this application intensely. Clickbank was heavily involved in promoting this application and even today it still holds one of the largest affiliate networks.
Let’s take a look at the first marketing ideas that supported KeyKey Monitor:

Once you buy a computer, you are usually provided instructions on plugging in a few wires into the computer after which you can start the computer. You will also have a short setup routine to go through when you first use Windows OS, where you may at the most be asked if you want Automatic Updates.

However, you will not be taught the means to secure your computer and the Internet connection it is logged into. Basically, PC companies have to provide all computer owners with these five tips that help secure any PC and its Internet network.

As a computer owner, you tend to think that single handling of the computer, visiting of only secure sites and not opening email attachments keeps your computer safe from viruses. On the contrary - without the proper protection, whenever you go online, you may get attacked by malware and virus.

Even clicking of innocent ads may at times lead to system malfunction, data theft and even loss of precious data, as these ads come with viruses and spyware. Sometimes when you use the search engine, some sites you visit may not be authentic ones and may install a malware in your computer when you visit it.

Presuming you already know the technical definition of a keylogger, I must raise a quite normal issue for someone who actually wants to buy a keylogger: “Should I choose a software keylogger or a hardware keylogger?”. Well, I will try to emphasize a few points of view regarding both of them and even after doing that I don’t think my verdict would be perfect for all, but it will help you choose.

Let’s start with the hardware keylogger, because this might be a little less explored than its “soft brother”.

Whether you know it or not, your computer is always keeping a track of your activities while you are on it. All information like your login names, passwords, visited websites, downloaded files and credit card numbers disclosed while surfing the Internet, are all stored in the browser history files, cookies and temporary Internet files of the computer.

It is important that you remember to clear the history of all these files on a periodical basis to ensure the privacy of your PC. Moreover, every time you surf the Internet, windows works at saving information about your activity so that it can provide you with a much better computer experience.

Like I tend to inform you from the title, this is a small glance on the privacy inside a family. Or, to be more specific, the privacy issue that occurs in the children-parents relationship.
Considering the premise that the parents are of several categories, we can identify two extreme (opposite) parent typologies, the one that grants his/hers own children with a high degree of freedom and trust, and the one that seeks to find out every little detail in the personal life of his/hers children, even if they become grown ups at some point.
Assuring your child the privacy he/her needs is somehow the test every parent has to sustain sooner or later in order to move from the area where the relation parent – children is loaded with a high degree of selfishness to the situation when the parent trusts his/hers child, respects his/hers decisions and knows how to guide him through his own personal example without imposing anything. This is quite the challenge because a very large number of parents tend to live through their children and want to achieve through their kids what they did not accomplish until that age.

I came across a very interesting article published by Cryptohippie and basically it’s an attempt to describe the “electronic police state”, because this would be the logical conclusion that arises from the latest information provided by Electronic Privacy Information Center, Reporters Without Borders and Freedom House.
With more and more countries obsessively developing the monitoring of every aspect from the people’s life, a natural question occurred, and that is “how close are we from an electronic police state?”. Many of us are aware of all the means of surveillance, but don’t do much about it, because people already have in their minds the connection between a police state and the horrors committed by the secret services and therefore today’s happening cannot be associated with a precedent. But it is all around us and is even more dangerous because we can’t even see it. The electronic attempt on something that might resemble total control is very subtle, it’s quiet and constantly working against the regular citizens.

Now that you know how well you are being ‘stalked’ while using the Internet, you will be equally happy to learn that you can ensure your Internet privacy by clearing your history tracks. To ensure your privacy protection, it is better to develop a habit of clearing your history tracks every time you use your computer.

However, you have to realize that it is not that easy to eliminate Internet and computer history files as the computer doesn’t store all history files in a single place. Clearing Internet history, cookies and cache is not sufficient to provide you with the required Internet privacy.

Manual deletion of history track is not always possible

Sometimes, it is not possible to manually delete some history tracks.

I was reading the other day a new version of the idea, or roomer if you prefer, that Microsoft could get involved in the “spy” software niche. Microsoft has already advanced a patent application for a computer system through which the employees should all be part of a wireless “spider” network that would monitor their metabolic features. I must add here that such an idea can raise one or two eyebrows in the Human Rights backyard and I can’t help myself to notice that Microsoft could now join in full daylight the Orwellian ideas that wonder around in our times. The evaluation of a worker based on a computer assessment of their mental and physical state it’s maybe too much, as unions also say.
