Is someone watching you online?

This might sound a bit alarmist but it is true, spyware  is quite a nasty business recording your personal data and transmitting to some third party on the other side of the planet. There are little bits of software that can record the keys you are pressing, what sites you are visiting. Quite scary when you think, when was the last time you logged into you email, when was the last time you bought something online, worse when was the last time you logged onto you bank account.

Now logging onto your bank account might seem fairly innocent, surely the banks website is secure. Well the truth is it is, the banks invest an awful lot in online security. The problem doesn't lie with the big expensive servers that the banks software runs on, the problem lies with the box that is in front of you now.

If you have spyware that is monitoring your keystrokes and transmitting them to a remote server. It is very easy for someone to log into your bank account, the bank won't realise, as from their point of view it is you that is logging in, after all they know your passwords they know you secret word and your user name and login as normal.

There is help though, all is not lost there is a lot you can do and a lot of it won't even cost you a penny.
