Protect Your Password From Keyloggers

I think many of you know what RoboForm is. But if you don't know what is RoboForm, let me explain a little bit about it to you. RoboForm is a password manager software, form filler, password generator and fill and save forms software.

If you have this software on your system, you don't have to type any password anymore. So, the keyloggers in your system will not be able to record your password and username. Which is a good thing and you will be a lot safer.

Imagine if you don't have this software on your system, what will happen if you do your online banking and the keyloggers recorded your every stroke? The hackers will immediately know your login information and they will use it to log in into your account.

Therefore, that's why it is important for you to have this software. If you would like to download this software, download it here http://tinyurl.com/2xpu9f

This software was named PC Magazine editor's choice and it is a very good software. Install it today before the keyloggers record your keystroke.

How You Can Use The Task Manager To Detect Malicious Software

Task Manager in Windows is another way how you can detect malicious software running in the background. But, there will also be a time when you want to use the Task Manager but you cannot open it.

First of all, you need to download HijackThis! because it has Process Manager tool in Misc Tools section and put the shortcut to HijackThis! on your desktop. This is because if you cannot access your Task Manager, you can still kill the malicious process by using the Process Manager.

There was one time when I cannot open my Task Manager and My Computer and therefore, I cannot kill the malicious software process. That's why I advise you to put a direct shortcut to HijackThis on your desktop.

After that, open your Task Manager and search in Google for all the process. Let's say you don't know what CPF.exe is, find it in Google and you'll know that it's a Comodo Firewall Pro process. Using this way, you can know if there are any malicious software running in the background.

I've used this method countless times to make sure that my system is clean from any threats.
