Logging software is insidious malware. For example, even if you are scrupulous with your password management and the use of secure web sites, a text logger can undo all that hard work by tracking all the text you type.

Passwords can therefore be logged and potentially sent across the internet without your knowledge if you get this spyware on your system.

Many of the big name "internet security" suites a good at preventing known keylogging software from being installed on your computer, but if they miss one, they are usually not so good (if they even try at all) with stopping logging activities.

This is where a software utility liike Zemana AntiLogger comes into play ...

Passwords need to be as 'strong' as the information or service they are protecting.

If you are using passwords to protect critical data or online services then theyu need to be unguessable by machines that can try hundreds of thousands passwords over a relatively short period of time.

Using passwords that anyone can guess because they are easy to remember should not be done for any type of protection to services or data you are actually worried or care about.

Check the strength of your passwords here with this Password Strength Meter - you may be surprised at how poor your passwords actually are!

The Information Commission is advocating due care and attention about the amount and type of personal information you reveal about yourself.

Not really from an ID theft point of view (though that can be a problem if you give away too much personal information), but more from "wearing your heart on your sleeve" via social networking.

Do you really want your current or future employers to know how many beers you routinely consume? That you took a "sickie" yesterday, last week, last month, five times last year?

The site is pretty much targeted at younger adults - read more here - stay in control of your online information, don't let your profile come back to haunt you!.
