Hi,
I have a red dot in my taskbar which says "Your activity is recorded" when
I
pass my mouse over it. When I click it, a window appears asking for my
password. I think my son downloaded some type of keylogger program and
can't
remember this password. We don't know how to uninstall it. Can anyone
please
help?
Thanks!
Sharon
If you google "red dot your activity is recorded" you'll find a number of
responses on this, including a hint that this can be a feature of some
parental control software, particularly from a product called PC-Pandora
(www.pcpandora.com). It asks for the password because it's offering the
administrative user - only - access to the recorded logs.
Yes, this is technically a keylogger. But because it can be from a
"legitimate" source, deliberately installed parental control software, many
A/V and security apps may explicitly ignore it.
So, you need to investigate further to see what is actually running.
msconfig can help, as can Process Explorer.
