One of the most devious spyware, which can be found, is the @Key Logger Home malware. Although, it is a commercial monitoring tool, this software can easily be misused to gain private information from a computer and even spy on it on a prolonged period. Since it utilizes stealth tactics, the @Key Logger Home is not a very easy software to detect or remove.
@Key Logger Home can monitor each and every keystroke which has been entered in the infected computer. @Key Logger Home can also take screenshots and videos of the desktop activity of the infected PC and either e-mail them or upload them to a server for the spying person to view.
The danger of the spyware is further accentuated as it goes undetected by most antivirus software as it is commercial software, which is available for legitimate purchase. In the right hands, it can do good to keep a track of employees and younger children; however, when used wrongly it can definitely cause some damage to the user of the PC, which is infected.
Removal of the @Key Logger Home spyware is best done by utilizing a good anti-spyware software such as Spyware Doctor. Most commercially available anti-spyware software can easily detect and remove @Key Logger Home. Manual removal of the spyware however, is not recommended, as it is a tedious procedure. The complex manual removal involves the termination of the active program using the Task Manager, then removal of entries from the registry, and finally deletion of the spyware files.
After completing manual removal, it is recommended that you still run a spyware scan and see if there has been complete removal of the spyware or not.
