Key Logging & What it is NOT - as seen on TV
A key logger is not a virus, it is an actual, working program that performs a well defined function, namely to copy the keystrokes on your computer as you make them. The concept is simply enough. The key logger also usually sends the keystrokes to some other destination, where your information is then available in near real time, as you type it. The concept is simple enough, but like so many security issues, it does not seem to get people's attention because it is not very visual.
It is now: Keylogging Demo from Strikeforce
So the stats are most of the time anti-virus programs do not recognize keyloggers, and smuggling a keylogger on to your machine can happen without you noticing it.
The result is you need a specific defense against key logging, because it is a very dangerous, but also very recognizable form of malware.
So while a virus perpetrates all kinds of disruption on the target machine, the very purpose of a key logger is to just quietly perform its function without the computer user noticing anything. Because the behavior of the key logger is so specific, it can also be specifically stopped, and that is what GuardedID® is for. It makes the function of keylogging impossible on the machine where it is installed, so it does not matter if the keylogging software is old as the hills, or totally new. GuardedID® stops the behavior outright. This is a marked difference from anti-vurus systems, which try to identify viruses based on what they look like. Guarded ID® simply blocks the keylogging behavior.
The issue will start to get more attention as there are now a number of television infomercials planned for the company that developed the product. These shows started Saturday August 7th on Foxnews LA followed by Fox, Foxnews (LA, NY, CHI), ABC, CBS, ION, Travel Network and other local heavily watched channels.
With that the public will hopefully become more aware of the issue, and learn what they can do about it.
