  1. Do I have a key logger or is simply windows spying on me?


    Hello everyone

    I have a question regarding I have disabled all background apps and I'm not running any browser but I can see in my Task manager that I'm constantly sending 8kbps somewhere(from time to time I would also receive 8kbps). The only process on Task Manager that seems to have network traffic is the "System" process at 0.1Mbps.

    However, after having a look at Resource Monitor I can see that the the process responsible for the sending of packages is is svchost.exe(NetworkService -p)

    Why are these processes: System and svchost.exe sending data even when I'm not using anything(no browser, no background apps, no AV, etc) that requires internet. Does that signal that I have a keylogger or possibly even a screen capturer that is sending my information to someone? Or that these processes have been hijacked from my system? I'm really concerned about it as my knowledge on network security is lacking. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

    :)

    Typing causes OS to lag for a few minutes after bootup

    Nice suggestion didn't think of that one *Smile Do I have a key logger or is simply windows spying on me? :)
    This might be his problem but it only happens after boot up isn't the point of a key logger to attain all information typed in by the user ?

    if you're talking about a password key logger is that even possible in the latest versions of windows aka 8.0 and up ?
    (I'm talking about the login screen if you're confused :| )

    Do I have a key logger or is simply windows spying on me?

    [WTB][US]   Temp Logger

    This is a long shot at TPU, but I'm looking for a deal on a UEI Apollo IV DT304 temperature logger. Best price I have found so far is $180 locally, so if you can beat it or know of a cheaper place, please let me know!

    Would be willing to entertain offers/suggestions on other temp loggers with quad inputs and good accuracy at or below this price range.

    Thanks TPU.
