The Good Wife, Key Logging Spyware
I watched my first episode of The Good Wife (CBS, 9pm CST Tuesday) two weeks ago, and I found it to be a smart legal and political drama. The gloves come off, and that goes for legal maneuvers as well as underhanded politics.
I recommend this show, but only to those who don’t mind spending additional time watching television. Ideally, anyone who starts watching this show will stop watching something else.
Incidentally, tonight’s episode of The Good Wife had Michael J. Fox as a guest star and also included a subplot involving key-logging spyware. This is a very relevant subject for everyone who uses a computer. Chances are good that your computer has spyware installed on it, and that one of those spyware apps is a key logger.
I installed and ran the free version of Ad-Aware on my PC last Saturday, and it found a key logger on my system. Ad-Aware either deleted or disabled it for me. The key logging spyware got past my AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 2011. I’m still not sure where it came from, or when it was installed. Both of these applications can be downloaded free at CNET’s download.com.
