The Secret World of Alternative Operating Systems | PCWorld

Of all defunct OSes, BeOS may have had the most promise. It emphasized simplicity, elegance, and support for parallel processing. The cancellation of development in 2001 upset BeOS fans. Enter Haiku , a free, open-source BeOS. Over the past 10 years, Haiku developers have made impressive strides, despite the fact that the OS is still in an early alpha state. Due to Haiku's BeOS compatibility, many quality applications are available for this actively-developed OS.

Steve Bass's Tips & Tweaks WinPatrol Adds Keylogger Detection

http://blogs.pcworld.com/tipsandtweaks/archives/006395.html Posted by Steve Bass | Tuesday, January 29, 2008 11:31 AM PT I don't always jump when I hear about an updated software version. I'll wait and see what others have to say, especially with antivirus, anti-spyware, and firewall apps. I consider WinPatrol one of those critical apps I depend on, and don't want to mess with.

In doing so, a person could have a record of what you typed, including passwords, chat conversations, emails etc. As technology and demand have progressed, so has the complexity of computer monitoring software. Programs today take screen shots, record every movement in real time, including chat room conversations, pictures and web paged viewed and even the inbound communications from other people, such as an email sent to you can now be read by a monitoring party.
