Tip: Stop using so many anti-virus's
Question: How do you know you have a keylogger?
Solution: Move off all important files, re-format the your drive with the "slow format" unchecked

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 6:11 PM

#

@fossil grove what are you even trying to do?

#

Can you show us?

#

I have X and I want it to be gone, where is X?

I use one at a time. i always uninstall one after the other.

#

dense reef <@339874906168623114> what are you even trying to do?

trying to remove some keylogger remote viewer .

#

i am unable to detect it through software but i see people harass me all the time in the real world

#

its a custom build

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:09 PM

#

but i see people harass me all the time in the real world

Are you okay?

#

Also what do you mean with "Keylogger?" 🤔

#

Your talking to an IT expert / IT Coder. and have no clue what you are talking about

#

Is this a feature in windows you try to disable? Or some virus?

#

Please be consise and maybe it does not even exist and just plays in your mind 🤷‍♂️

#

@fossil grove ?

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:13 PM

#

i get teased about it often

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:13 PM

#

teased by whom?

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:13 PM

#

i am sure the police and most likey the comupter store installed something

#

i get teased in my local community

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:14 PM

#

Great, reinstall windows 10! , clear out the PC and start over again

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:14 PM

#

i already did a format

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:14 PM

#

Ok, after that nothing can exist on your PC

#

only what you did install

#

So who is teasing you in your local community ?

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:15 PM

#

neighbours

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:15 PM

#

and what do they say?

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:15 PM

#

they know personal information

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:15 PM

#

are the walls thin?

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:15 PM

#

password manager data was stolen as well

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:15 PM

#

can you hear the neighbours?

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:16 PM

#

i had people enter my home and stolen files from me

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:16 PM

#

Well great time to reset ALL passwords

#

and get a Keepass manager going .

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:16 PM

#

they know my keepass manager password

#

how were they able to do this?

#

it is unlawful

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:17 PM

#

who told them that one?

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:17 PM

#

i never told anyone about apps i use

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:17 PM

#

Do you use your keepass password on other devices?

#

or logins?

#

as in same passwords for other environments?

#

if thats the case its easy to just try all your passwords until you get in your keepass

#

if you wrote it down in your house they might have found it.

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:18 PM

#

it does not seem like it but i would not be surprised if they use my logins

#

it is theft

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:19 PM

#

Well if the police has probable cause

#

they can do allot in that way

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:19 PM

#

i think they inserted a usb chip

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:20 PM

#

well you know how big USB chips are.

#

and how they look like

#

so thats not hard to figure out

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:20 PM

#

they are losers

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:20 PM

#

Thats a subjective statement.

#

but understandable

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:20 PM

#

its like walking into a random's person home and using their stuff

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:20 PM

#

Just check all USB ports and check all the USB com ports.

#

if none are connected to anything you do not know, then your statement is false.

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:21 PM

#

well, let me ask you this. what can i do , software wise?

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:21 PM

#

best way install linux and encrypt your harddrive.

#

only can be opened by using a password, otherwise the whole harddrive is lost.

#

literally

#

you could use a USB stick as a KEY, and if that gets destroyed the PC is unusable , until reformatted.

#

but these are just hardware encryptions on the PC.

#

if you need windows 10 , you could use a dualboot, or use WINE in linux

#

and also use password PHRASES not pass WORDS

#

#

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:32 PM

#

i dont know bro

#

my family dont even talk

#

my (i hate to call him this but my COUSIN) knows my reddit username for some reason. I confronted him and he lied

#

i stopped talking to family due to stuff like this...

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:33 PM

#

oh... your being paranoid

#

how come?

#

what have you done online?

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

dense reef what have you done online?

nothing

#

i was a admin (site owner) before

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:35 PM

#

Great , well that doessnt mean anything?

#

aslong as it wassnt hauling any weird things like drugs or bitcoin laundering.

#

🤷‍♂️ you should be fine.

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:36 PM

#

i know but this key logger is no good

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:36 PM

#

fossil grove i know but this key logger is no good

you keep talking about a keylogger? 🤔

#

why are you so certain about this?

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:36 PM

#

i am doing something about it

#

its; time consuming

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

yeah which makes me think your paranoid

#

Because , you removed all the Software stuff.

#

and you are talking to a Software specialist, certified in Software engineering 🤔

#

and the police can only check what stuff you left online

#

like Google, everything you type in google gets collected

#

🤷‍♂️ so yeah

#

don't need a keylogger for that

#

also the same for everything in chrome

#

you already consented to have that being saved.

calm lark Apr 20, 2023, 8:39 PM

#

if you're really paranoid and you want to make sure its removed completly, theres always a disk rewrite with random data then zeros

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:39 PM

#

calm lark if you're really paranoid and you want to make sure its removed completly, there...

he already reformatted his Disk and reinstalled.

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:39 PM

#

never trust muslims

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:40 PM

#

fossil grove never trust muslims

Thats a racist statement

#

just boldly racist

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:40 PM

#

i am not racist

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:40 PM

#

Well it is a racist statement and makes you a racist

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:40 PM

#

you just dont know my environment and my background

#

its a attuide they bring in

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:40 PM

#

off course I don't but there are definitly good muslim people arround

#

just like bad white fat people

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:41 PM

#

let's not talk about humans.,.

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:41 PM

#

🤷‍♂️ which is also racist

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:41 PM

#

help me remove this key logger/remote viewer

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:41 PM

#

There is none

#

check your current applications

#

check Taskmgr

#

show me all your applications currently running

#

Check in MsConfig -> Services -> Hide all microsoft services.

#

And go through all of them and disable all of them.

#

go to Start up and disable all of the applications

#

restart PC.

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:44 PM

#

fossil grove help me remove this key logger/remote viewer

Who put this idea even in your head?

#

sick mind / neighbour if he did that.

#

you could always use a openDNS for surfing or use a VPN to surf online. if you want to make sure it cannot be traced back to you that easily

#

but the VPN is your security at that point , if they fall and leak information it can all be traced back.

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

not worried about VPN - i use proton VPN

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

you can check with wireshark on your network and sniff it out

#

but thats just traffic sniffing, on your network

#

it will just tell you Windows is always sending some diagnostic stuff

#

and the connections you got open to any Website

#

like POST / GET calls

#

and the information thats going over it.

#

fun to learn but you will not see any keyloggers .

#

At this point I really would like you to go see a shrink 🤔

#

not for me.

#

I really couldn't care less if you would love to spend your days pursuiing a fairy keylogger.

#

but you seem troubled a bit.

#

and a house robbery can do that

sturdy olive Apr 20, 2023, 8:48 PM

#

It sounds like your just being scared about something that probably hasnt happened

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:49 PM

#

i have wireshark running

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

Easiest way to tell you got a keylogger, is to check when you type if wireshark is showing anything

#

not in discord offcourse but randomly

#

without having any screens focused

#

if it doesn't show traffic, there is no keylogger

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:51 PM

#

i wish i knew what i am doing

#

i dont use wireshark

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:52 PM

#

well you first make a assumption

#

which is " there is a keylogger"

#

Who? why how even?

#

its a bad assumption at best

#

you think there is one, who put this idea in your head?

#

Did you came up with this?

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:53 PM

#

dense reef Did you came up with this?

no - i discovered it throught neighors and family

#

they all behave teh same - they refuse to speak to me

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:53 PM

#

"It" ?

#

what is "It" and what did you discover?

abstract hearth Apr 20, 2023, 8:54 PM

#

fossil grove they all behave teh same - they refuse to speak to me

thats not really a valid argument that they put a key logger on your pc

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:54 PM

#

i am being monitored

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:54 PM

#

can you ellaborate more?

#

Since this is not proof in itself

calm lark Apr 20, 2023, 8:54 PM

#

off topic but wonder what induced such big paranoia in you

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

calm lark off topic but wonder what induced such big paranoia in you

there is no paranoia

tiny orchid Apr 20, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

Kapp

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

@tiny orchid please do not talk if you do not have something worthy to contribute

#

@fossil grove can you talk more?

#

since this is not proof at all

#

this is just hearsay. Neighbours or family can be assholes

#

not proof at all for monitoring

#

its monitoring if police comes over every few days

calm lark Apr 20, 2023, 8:56 PM

#

if you are really sure that theres a keylogger then reflash bios and reformst hard drive

#

monitor task manager & wireshark

#

but this idea of a keylogger being persistant after a format with no trace/proof is absurd

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:57 PM

#

I agree with you MX.

#

@fossil grove yes its very paranoid behaviour

#

What do the neighbours tell you?

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

dense reef What do the neighbours tell you?

they yell at me from a distance

#

i have cctv cameras of them bragging

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

what do they yell?

#

" I have keyloggers and can see everything?"

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

they know my info

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

oh... you don't need keyloggers for that 🤷‍♂️

#

Just grab some mail, and steal it

#

all you need

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:59 PM

#

they make it known as a joke that it is okay to enter my home and steal whatever

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 8:59 PM

#

Well do they live in your home as well? (sharing house?)

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 8:59 PM

#

they dont live in my home

#

its just they abuse me while i am alseep

#

i can be sleeping in my

#

bed

#

they cut my hair

#

i walked around in public with messed up hair

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

Wait , they tresspas inside your house?

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

yes, it is tresspassing

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

so go to the police

#

file a report!

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

due to multiculturalism , they dont know the meaning

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

Thats criminal behaviour

#

lock all doors at night

#

call 911 or whatever the number is and file a report

#

get a lawyer and sue their asses

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:02 PM

#

the police will not do anything.. they just want me to see a mental health staff

#

its useless

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:02 PM

#

this is not normal behaviour 🤔

#

make it a civil case if you can proof it with camera's / CCTV's

#

its easy to go to a lawyer and make a civil case out of it

#

maybe even get some money to move to a better neighbourhood

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:03 PM

#

i agree

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

but keyloggers? Your neighbour is not smart enough to do such a thing

#

just an asshole with scissors

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:04 PM

#

they speak punjabi

#

if that says anything

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:05 PM

#

doessnt say anything

#

there are 113 million native speakers

#

don't mean a thing

#

so rest assured, you got a asshole neighbour.

#

but he is not tech savy.

#

how does he even get inside your home? did you forget the locks?

#

did he break locks?

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:07 PM

#

people that live in the home or using those gadgets like flipper zero on the garage

#

maybe they used hak5 usb devices on my computer?

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:07 PM

#

I got the feeling you hear terms

#

but not even know what they do or mean

#

did you see them with those devices?

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

i do not see those devices

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

as in person walking with said device?

#

so , its just an idea in your head.

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:09 PM

#

its not an idea

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:09 PM

#

well if it issn't did you see him use any of those devices?

#

do you got proof he / she is using said devices?

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:10 PM

#

dense reef do you got proof he / she is using said devices?

no

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:10 PM

#

those devices are very low powered and just used for pen testing

#

Non existing chance it can get anywhere.

#

not like you got a Smart Lock on your house

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

any tips for keylogger detection?

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

Yeah , turn of the pc and go sleep

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

no worries

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

0% chance

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

i will close this thread

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

There is NO keylogger

#

only keylogger is the Google one

#

and it will track everything you put inside google

#

no joke

#

🤷‍♂️ thats what you are the product

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

fossil grove i will close this thread

Also best thing for you to do is talk with a shrink

#

no joke, I know your stressed and feel like the whole world is out to get you

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

why shrink?

#

who wants to do drugs?

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

But , literally most people don't care who you are, and nobody is out to get you , you only have a bad neighbour.

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

you gain 80 pounds of weight!

#

you lose muscle mass

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

Well you might get some insight to why you are thinking this way

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

your brain gets fucked up

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

🤷‍♂️ I'm just here to help

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

insight?

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

Went that route myself aswell

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

dont trust muslims

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

Move houses?

#

if you don't like your neighbourhood

#

Sometimes it might be the best thing you did

#

and talking about it with someone does help

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

jasper, you have a good day

#

i am out

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

It helps to re- evaluate your stand on life

#

a good person to talk to can do allot

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

i have spoken to a therapist before

#

last time i did, she went haywire at the end of the session

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

well might be the wrong therapist

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

she brought in peoples name who i dont i see

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

And also might be a sign you do need it.

#

but not from that therapist

#

some therapist just basically stinks

#

as bad exes

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

told me i need to a psychologist

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

🤷‍♂️ Well , that is okay if it helps.

#

But take it from me as an IT Specalist , there are 0 keyloggers on your physical PC.
Your not that interesting to anyone, so they do not bother.
If you build nucleair rockets, it would be a different story.

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:18 PM

#

it was nice knowing you, jasper

#

i will remain mute in the main channel

#

i apperciate the chat

#

a therapist can do wonders at best

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:19 PM

#

No problem! And do take up the offer mate, it might help you. I do not like to see you being paranoid and thinking the world wants to do you bad stuff .

fossil grove Apr 20, 2023, 9:19 PM

#

im keeping it honest, dont trust muslims

dense reef Apr 20, 2023, 9:20 PM

well lets keep it straight and honest, you don't like your neighbour muslims
