Is your PC running slow? The answer might be more nefarious than you think. Spyware such as keyloggers can often go undetected by antivirus software. Windows Performance Toolkit offers two powerful tools for identifying and gathering evidence of keyloggers: the Recorder, used to record system events, and the Analyzer, used to inspect those events. Join Thomas Pantels as he explains what a keylogger is and demonstrates how it functions and hides in plain sight. Using Windows Performance Toolkit, he shows how to set up a profiling environment to gather evidence and find the keylogger "hooks." Once you've traced the keylogger, you can delete the application and get your computer back on track. (less)

In this course, Thomas Pantels examines a keylogger that's undetected by antivirus and antimalware programs. This spyware can record an entire room conversation inside your home and extract information from private calls. Follow Thomas as he shows how to use two powerful performance monitoring tools included in the Windows Performance Toolkit-the Windows Performance Recorder and Windows Performance Analyzer-to find spyware that could be lurking on your computer because it's undetected by antivirus software. He examines the source code for a keylogger to see how this malicious spyware ticks, and how to detect odd behavior in your system at a very low level. He shows how to determine if your private conversations are actually being recorded by inspecting the processes using the Windows audio stream. (less)
