keylogger

Post by two slow »

I tried to install a couple keyloggers but none are working. I am getting an error.
Windows cannot access the specified devise or you don't have permission.
Have any ideas?

Ummm...

#1: Why would you want to install a keylogger?

#2: If you downloaded this keylogger from a questionable place (as I assume you did since I can't think of anyplace to get one that isn't questionable) then you have no idea what it does. For all you know it's working fine and now sending data to some Russian hacker who's hoping you think that it didn't install because you got an error.

#3: Assuming this is a "legit" keylogger (if there really is such a thing) then most likely the reason you are getting the error is because your security software is doing it's job and blocking the keylogger from installing.

There ARE plenty of legitimate keyloggers. USB keyloggers may be the most common (not saying soft versions aren't flying around), although a main company which makes the a USB version has been receiving some flak atm. Never had a need for one myself though.
