RE: keyloggers

["Josh Mills" <JMills () cnbwaco com>]

Keyloggers are very easy to code in a matter of minutes, and most of these home made keyloggers will not set off any 
alarms on most antivirus packages as they are usually signature based. Spyware applications seem to have a better catch 
rate but they are still not %100.

It seems there's a trend about antivirus software detect and remove 
keyloggers and spywares. Actually, I think antispy programs can do this job 
more effectively.
