I've got an interesting little situation....
Seems like my ex-boyfriend is trying to spy on me. A very reliable source revealed to me today that my ex is sending me a CD of pictures that I've been wanting from our last vacation together and in it, he's installing a keylogger!???? :eek: Please excuse my retardedness when it comes to these things, I even had to look up what a keylogger was when I first heard! I'm a medical student so yea, it's like a different world to me but I just can't believe he'd do this!! Is this real? Can someone seriously do that? So as soon as I put the CD in my laptop, he automatically gets all my passwords and everything? What can I do? I want the pictures, don't want the keylogger, obviously...
Any s***estions??

disable autorun on your comp. http://snipurl.com/6znjy
Then put the cd in and browse it using explorer but don't click anything. If you see any files that are exe/scr/bat/com/pif don't mess with those. If you see a file like slideshow.exe or MyPic.jpg.exe don't click those.
Files with extensions like jpg/gif/pps are safe.
You can upload suspicious files to http://www.virustotal.com which scans them with multiple virus scanners.
