Who is spying on your Laptop?
 

I just came across this page via stumpleupon -

Very naughty :down:, If I lived in the US I would be taking my laptop apart right now!

Call it paranoia but some windows updates are keyloggers

Well, what do you expect when you buy Dell? They call me about once a month still, and I refuse to buy laptops from them.

I have one completely taken apart (I have a nasty curiosity of whats inside the box syndrome :D) and there is no keylogger in it.

By the way, there is much missing from this story. Did he buy this as a personal machine? Or is this a corporate machine? Keyloggers are common in corporations, though they are usually software based. This is in the event of lawsuits and such where a employee is fired for misconduct. They keylogger will tell all.

If this is a corporate machine, that keylogger may have been put there on purpose by his company. I don't find this weird at all, but is normal and legal practice.
