Frank Bonin Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Hi this is my first post. I have just received some very disturbing information and was wondering if it is possible for CC to clean keylogger information if it keylogger is hardware installed by maker? This is being done by Dell and I expect by most other computer makers. First time to this site, and I will be back as it look like great info and I am will pleased with the results of CC. Thanks, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted July 6, 2005 Moderators Share Posted July 6, 2005 I did some searching trying to find out about the dell keyloggers that you were talking about. The story about the guy with his laptop is a hoax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

englishmen Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 They could never do that(at least not hear in the UK)and if they did no one would go near the computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDogg Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I figure storys like these come from someone out for revenge. All companys have these type of storys in some form or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to the topic, it would be suicide for any single manufacturer to even try such a stunt. Maybe one day "governments" will force all manufacturers to do it at one time, probably as part of the CPU with a direct link to the MI5 - MI6 - CIA - NSA - FBI, etc., ... and we all go back to pen and paper. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Bonin Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 I did some searching trying to find out about the dell keyloggers that you were talking about. The story about the guy with his laptop is a hoax. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for the update on this as being a hoax. My concern was because my files that I currently being work on are being copied and send via net to someone with a name 'HACKMEM" as I was able to capture one of these files and have watch as others were created and 'seemed' to disappear quickly. Interesting to point out some of my file were stolen and in one case one file was taken for ten days and the folder was returned empty. When I first saw this I said to myself this is a ghost of the file I just created, that was why I found the Dell story interesting as it all fit(and I have a Dell). Any way to check why their is more going out of Net than coming in? Something is wrong and maybe CC can help? Thanks, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted July 7, 2005 Moderators Share Posted July 7, 2005 That is the scariest thing Ive heard happen. Ok what you need to do is get a firewall get this: http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/cata...d=dbtopnav_zass Next you need an antivirus: http://store.ca.com/dr/v2/ec_main.entry25?...5939&CID=190471 When you get the firewall DO NOT let anything access the internet if you dont know what it is. Only allow windows services and programs that you know what they are. Also are you using antispyware? look in the freeware pinned topic and look for a post I made that says antimalware get everything thier you can. Update it and scan. http://forum.CCleaner.com/index.php?showtopic=1224 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
