hi all,

how do i prevent the system from logging everything i type on my keyboard?

thanks,

gary
 
explain more please;
your PC should NOT be logging -- do you have a "keystroke logger" installed?...on a network?....at work?

.....do you have ADM privileges? -- did your Sys Adm install a Logger?

i was looking thru my windows\system folder, and I noticed a notepad (wordpad) called keylog, when I looked inside, I noticed that every site that I typed in as well as passwords were stored in it. I have ad-aware, as well as spybot that intercept keyloggers as well as spyware. I dont know if this is something that got turned on. But, I would definately like to have it turned off. This is my PC at home. I am running Windows 98

Thanks,

Gary
