How to keep your pc reasonably secure

Hi all!
In my last post i described a simple key logger that was made from *downloadable tools from internet* and just by changing few configuration settings. Its no exaggeration to say that even a 3rd grade student, given the tools can pack the custom key logger.

So how do i protect my computer? Lets re-phrase: How do I make my computer better?

Some good tips from the "BAD GUY" part-1


How many have an up to date antivirus?? And how many of you think it works?

Let me tell you a small secret.. NO ANTIVIRUS IS 100% EFFECTIVE

Let me tell you a small story..
Just days ago, I made a beautiful, small, completely harmless looking program.. Here is the analysis report after testing it with 43 independent antivirus. Note that only 14 caught it
click here to view the report.
 Notice that most antivirus were not able to detect it..
The next step, I installed it on few computers.. to install, just double click the file.. Nothing gets displayed, but now, you have nothing in private..

Its what the tech guys called a key-logger. It records all key presses, web history, screenshots and some other info, and sends it remotely to the attacker, i.e me, undetected by the firewall..

By exploiting the ADSs, the simple 1MB file can be hidden in virtually anything.. and very few antivirus, i mean even fewer than in previous report will detect it as medium risk. I did not go that far.. Its just simple testing, so i saved ADS for later..


But the risk must be described As extreme. If theres a keylogger running, all security is worthless until its cleaned.

And I can embed this file into cracks or key-gens without any fear of getting caught.. and the best part. The program and its files remain completely invisible, and it is very tough to uninstall this Trojan using normal methods.. and no antivirus cleaned it perfectly..

And the fact that the such a file can be embedded in any thing sends chills up my spine.. And hey, i actually embedded it successfully..

Want proof?? leave a comment and i'll send u a *sample* copy along with its removal tool..

Enough boasting I'm bad, real bad.. Now to the point.. How do I protect my computer?


Hold on guys.. I've got exams now.. I'll post a clear explanation on how to protect yourself in a week.
