Hi, 8-bit
Euh... running a W. program through wine on Linux is NOT the same thing as running a
W. program directly in Linux. You simply can't run a W. program directly in Linux. Try it
and you'll see: nothing will happen.
I'd suggest a search in the Internet about your problem to be sure, but it would be logical
that the malware thinks it's running on a real W. system and try to attack the wine structure.
But once out of wine, back in your real Linux, the malware can't do anything: it's not the
same folder structure, and W. executables just won't run in Linux.
BFN.

You mean ANTI-keylogger addon, yes?
No an actual keylogger addon for Firefox, not ant-keylogger ...

About this Add-on
This addon logs (writes down) every single key press performed on the computer while surfing the Firefox browser.

But why would I want to spy on the keys I myself type... ? Unless I'm a nutcase...

And I have checked the hard drives, processor, and memory with tests from the Windows recovery manager, chkdsk in windows and using e2fsck in linux.
And I still think some nasty has gotten onto one or both of my drives.
Lets say you had 1 or more "improper-poweroff" events...
Then you scanned and fixed the PFS [partition-filesystem], so that the PFS was now OK...
The act of scanning&fixing might create "orphan file fragments", so that the folder/file system might then have gaps or missing portions, so would no longer function fully [not function as it aught]...
Since certain files are incomplete.
The way to then fix that would be to restore...
Perhaps an image backup
...
Or scan&fix the PFS then restore all of the partitions' folders/files [I normally use Puppy->Xfe to do this].
Whatever would return a good/complete folder/file/PFS system.

Which suggests [that at least] the PFS is OK.

You suggested to turn off javascript. Well, if I do, I can't access my webmail account
from my opera browser. Any ideas about how to go around this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
@ all
I've been studying the man for chmod and came up with the following, as a refinement
of my previous post on the subject. Any ideas as to how to improve this little script are welcome. (Since this is not exactly intuitive...)
Code: Select all
# Exercise 1)
# Specify user only permissions for a folder named "Documents" in /root.
# Step 1
chmod -v -R uga-rwx /root/Document # Remove all rights to anyone for the folder and all the files in it, in verbose mode.
# Step 2
chmod -v -R u+rw /root/Document # Give back read and write rights to the user only for the folder and all files in it, in verbose mode.
# Step 3
chmod -v u=rwx /root/Documents # Give back search rights to the user only for the folder, in verbose mode.
####
# Exercise 2)
# Specify user only permissions for all folders in /root.
# Step 1
chmod -v -R uga-rwx /root # Remove all rights to anyone for the folder and all the files in it, in verbose mode.
# Step 2
chmod -v -R u+rwx /root # Give back read, write, and search or execute rights to the user only for the root folder and all files in it, in verbose mode.
(Corrected Jan 27, 2014: last line in the code above should have read /root, not /root/Documents. Sorry about that.)
Thanks in advance.

I use Seamonkey with addon "NoScript".
I put sites I allow javascript to run in the "NoScript" whitelist.
It appears Opera has several addons with similar capabilities, e.g. Script Defender.

Ditto
There seem to be
alternatives to NoScript for Opera , which have a whitelist system, (only websites on the whitelist are permitted to use JavaScript FlashPlayer JavaApplets etc), but I've never tried these alternatives to
NoScript.

The suggested uses were spying on the other members of the household.
However Keylogger could be used ethically : imagine you've filled in an on-line form only for something to go wrong,
you can retrieve a copy of what you've typed from the keylogger rather than type-in all the data again.

Jello, mikeb
Maybe a typing tutor would do a better job of it? Here's a short list:
