What is a Keylogger?

IMDetect is a Keylogger.

A Keylogger, also called keystroke logger or key logger, is a surveillance program that when installed it records each keystroke a user types on a specific computer’s keyboard. Keyloggers can be found embedded in spyware and be transmitted to an unknown third party. As a user types, a keylogger saves the information to a hidden log file where it’s sent over the Internet to whoever installed the program. A keylogger can record instant messages, e-mails, or visited websites. Keyloggers are typically used by employers to make sure employees are using computers for work purposes only, or by parents who want to check their children’s Internet activities.

How do I know I have IMDetect on my computer?

Good question! The first step in detecting and removing IMDetect is by asking yourself whether or not your computer has been infected. IMDetect, as well as other unwanted software, can be difficult to detect and even more difficult to remove but knowing the IMDetect symptoms can start you on the road to having a IMDetect-free computer.

IMDetect Symptoms

If you answer “yes” to any of the IMDetect symptoms listed below, you may have IMDetect or other types of parasites installed on your computer. Keep in mind that the symptoms of IMDetect and other unwanted software infections vary.

IMDetect may install without your knowledge or consent. Downloading shareware/freeware software or visiting questionable websites might lead to a IMDetect infection. Once installed, IMDetect can compromise your privacy by transmitting your personal information and downloading popup advertisements.

IMDetect may monitor your surfing habits. Once installed, IMDetect or other types of parasites can do almost anything. It can tracks which websites you visited or what terms you’ve typed. Spyware uses your information to deliver targeted ads to you. Also, data of your surfing activities may be sold to third parties.

IMDetect may bombard you with popup ads. IMDetect may display annoying popups while you surf the Web. You might have IMDetect or other types of parasites on your computer if you see pop-up advertising, even when you are not on the Web or when your computer has been idle for many minutes.

IMDetect may hijack, redirect and change your Web browser. When your Web browser’s home page unexpectedly changes without your consent or your Web browser suddenly closes or stops responding, you might be infected with IMDetect. Also, in other cases new toolbars appear on your Web browser and you can’t get rid of it.

Slow computer performance. A sluggish computer is one of the easiest signs that you have been infected with IMDetect. IMDetect and other unwanted sofware use your computer’s resources to do its nasty tasks such as displaying popups or tracking your surfing activities. If you see your computer is slowing down dramatically or crashing a lot, you may be infected with an unwanted software.

Help! I have IMDetect. What do I do?

The best approach is to find a reliable anti-spyware program to run a spyware check. Once the anti-spyware software has identified the harmful files, you can easily remove all the files with a click of a button.
