| I have peoplepc online with a dial-up connection and Windows XP. Every time
| I hit a key there is a clicking sound, like when you take a picture with a
| flash camera.
|
| I've done some research and found there is something new now where each key
| you press is recorded and some software program lets you play back the
| recording on the keys and through this method whatever you typed is displayed
| on the screen. With the information the hacker can gain access to your
| computer using some type of toolbar and change settings in your registry, add
| something to a download, re-direct so that if you use dial-up it will connect
| to their phone, where they can make long distance calls at your expense, and
| the list goes on and on. They can change your homepage, and all types of
| settings.
|
| I know it's either a hacker or keylogger, but how do I get rid of this
| without reformatting my hard drive?

And you are an expert ? That is how you know it is a Hacker or a Keylogger ?
If it was tuly either, the software would NOT indicate its presence for fear off detection
and removal.
To be sure, you can use the following Multi AV Scanning Tool...
Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe
To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close
Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }
NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.
C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.
You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.
When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm
