Currently I am stationed in Afghanistan.  I have noticed my computer adware program has been stopping a key logger.  I am new to Ethical hacking.  The only language I know a bit is HTML.  Where do I start to figure out who and what is the problem on my computer, thanks KC

Well what exactly is the problem? You have a keylogger that was blocked/denied access or is something else going on?

Isn't there an IA/INFOSEC person you can take it to?

My IA solution to everything is wipe the drive and start over.  I would rather find out where it is and fix it.  Or at least get the knowledge base to start figuring it out.  I have nothing but time to learn stuff over here.  The computer is my personal computer as well, not a military computer.  Thanks for you help, KC

Hopefully your anti-adware program has also identifies the offending keylogger program so you can examine it. You need to make sure that it truly is a being identified correctly and not a false positive.  If the keylogger is really being blocked by your program, you are not in immediate  danger (at least not form this particular malware) and you can take some time to research the particulars.

What is the name of the keylogger?  The IAs I know over in the sandbox are pretty good at helping folks, if not call always call the geeks on the TNC.
