  • Always type the URL of the site in the address bar to get into the site. Never click on the hyperlink to enter the site.

USING KEY LOGGERS OR TROJANS : Protecting yourselves from a keylogger scam is very easy.Just install a good anti-spyware program and update it regularly. This keeps your PC secure from a keylogger.
