System Restore/Keyloggers

[PaintYourTarget]

Not too sure if this is the right section, apologies if it isn't.

Anyway, the Windows Security Alerts on my Vista decided to tell me there was an attempted attack by a key logger. I know when this was and pretty sure I got the download canceled immediately (it was an annoying pop up =[). I didn't run a Virus Scan but I did restore my system back a week. Would this eliminate the problem if there was a key logger?

Yes it would eliminate the key logger

Not a problem

Dont set your computer back a week just for a keylogger, install anti-virus software such as AVG or Avira (Free) Or Kaspersky/NOD32 Paid.

Keylogger's are nothing, there's no need for a system restore, any nub can make a keylogger.

Restores are just quicker and easier. Hadn't done any major system updates for weeks and anti virus' get on my nerves.

Your going to run into trouble down the line without an antivirus, every computer should have one. Your an easy target without, especially if you enter credit card details/very sensitive information into that computer.

Excuse the pun, but surfing the web without an anti-virus/firewall is like sleeping with someone and not wearing a condom, you're gonna' get infected sooner rather than later.

I advise you to get NOD32, check up on some sites and learn how to get full version for free etc. If you need full version and can't be bothered to google, don't hesitate to PM me.

Hope I helped.

Any 'nub' can make a virus. It's not hard at all, it's making it FUD and spreading it the internet which is the hard part.

No, it's not hard to make it undetectable, with certain binders, there's a few which are very exclusive to certain hacking forums, and not many anti viruses pick them up.

Spreading is not hard either, they just bind it onto a program lets say 'ScreenRecorder' the victim downloads it off rapidshare ect and bam there infected
