Most computers accessing the internet today are not adequately protected against dangerous spyware. Spyware is the “tool of choice” for identity thieves because it secretly transmits your personal information directly to them.

The most popular type of identity-stealing spyware is known as a keylogger. Keyloggers monitor and record your keystrokes when logging on to websites. This information is written to a file and then discreetly transmitted to an identity thief who will use it to gain access to your account. You will never know if you have spyware or keyloggers on your PC unless you use specialized software that can detect its presence.

There are several spyware detection products in the marketplace today, but most only do a “pretty good” job of finding and eliminating all traces of spyware and dangerous keyloggers. One product that I’ve found to be better than most is SpyCop.

Unlike a lot of security software that is designed to keep you safe from viruses, adware, spyware and intruders, SpyCop does one thing and one thing only – it detects and removes spyware. Because SpyCop is entirely focused on keeping your computer free from spyware, it consistently has a higher detection rate.

SpyCop works off of the largest spyware database in the world, which means it protects you from more types of spyware than any other anti-spyware product.

Spycop is available via download and is very quick and easy to install and use. The user interface is clean and simple, making it user friendly for even those with limited computer skills. This software updates itself automatically, so you never have to worry about having an out of date product.

By default, Spycop installs in “manual scan” mode, making it ideal for use as a secondary spyware scanner. It can also be quickly and easily configured to run as an “all the time” scanner by choosing “stealth” mode. This mode of operation allows Spy Cop to continually monitor your PC so it can kill any new traces of spyware before it installs.

I highly recommend Spy Cop to protect your computer against dangerous keylogger spyware and to keep your personal information safe from identity thieves.
