Relax, Windows 10 doesn’t have a malicious ‘keylogger’

[Batu69]

“Microsoft is recording what you type and say,” says one random website vaguely reporting on Windows 10, written by an author who has likely never participated in the Windows Insider program simply to saturate the search engines for traffic purposes. “Microsoft is recording EVERYTHING you type,” another site you’ve probably never heard of emphatically proclaims. These so-called tech sites (or borderline tabloid sites) get paid by the clicks, so it makes sense to see these rambunctious stories on Windows 10. Unfortunately, sites like these get a large amount of traffic because controversy sells, right?

I know myself and my team, as well as the majority of the community here, have been involved in the Windows Insider program since day one. We’ve reported on and tested every single Windows 10 preview build and have provided necessary feedback while understanding and accepting the terms of the program. The truth is Windows 10 does gather some of your data, but not in the traditional sense and definitely not as a malicious keylogger. In fact, I think there are people out there who legitimately think Windows 10 has a malicious, hidden keylogger out to cause harm, having absolutely no clue about Microsoft’s intent or the premise behind the Windows Insider program.

First of all, what is a keylogger? A keylogger is short for keystroke logging, the action of recording or logging the keys struck on a keyboard. This is typically done in a covert manner, where the victim is unaware their actions are being monitored. Keyloggers are typically considered spyware, since they contain any information you may have typed, such as email passwords, bank account details, etc. When you think of a keylogger, you think of something malicious, something harmful, something sneaky.

absolute BS article; ofcourse MS wants to make everybody believe that the data collection they do is harmless and doesn't invade your privacy.

The truth is far from this

But are you sure that you wrote?

Anyway, Windows 10 keeps track of all your actions and stores them.

No wonder such a worthy software maker, as the company O&O Software, has released its portable program O&O ShutUp10.

LOL, no offense.

...I'm not paranoid, but trust yourself and trust more O&O Software than M$. In this particular case

:D

No it doesn't prove anything ! Especially whet it comes from O&O itself.

Proof would be making a tutorial for win10 users outhere se they can test and decide for themselfs ! All the rest is BS

Sounds like more M$ propaganda to me . From My own testing with a IP sniffer . I know windows 10 calls out 10 times more than windows 8 did and that's after you turn default collecting off . When a O/S has a whole section dedicated to turning on/off data collecting and you turn all of it off and they still call out that's doing it without you're permission.

O&O are not the only company that makes these tools are were they the 1st ones to launch them. I dont care if you care about you're privacy are not . But you dont speak for everyone I tweaked windows 10 and blocked everything i could . because I care about mine.

I dont use none of those other things iPhones, Androids or WinPhones . I'm not a hypocrite . Only my concern is what happens to me on my PC. I only have a Burner and a house phone . Also I'm not prejudice. I hate all forums of data harvesting .

But you tell people they should make a tut when people already did prove it that's why its all up in the news everyday. . ;)

Seems to be promotional stunt to make people think that Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 collect data too so you may as well update too Windows 10 because they all do. If M$ was not playing with peoples minds they would make these updates for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 mandatory but there just optional . Last time I checked that's called reverse psychology and 3 wrongs dont make a right . :P :lol:
