Got a computer? Do you use email or surf the Net? Do you know what a key logger is? If not, your identity could be stolen at any time.

Identity theft is more dominant in the cyber world now more than ever. Just this weekend, many were hit with a fake e-mail from one of the largest banks in the world.

(PRWEB) August 10, 2004 -- Cyber Indentity theft goes beyond just spyware or trojan horse virues. A "junkware" tool called a "key logger" will record every key stroke you make on your keyboard, including your user name and password and send that information to an indentity theif without you even knowing it.

There is hope. Many banks and other institutions are fighting back with consumer alrets, links, and other resources to empower their end users to protect themselves, but some say that is not enough.

Officials at the North Carolina base firm say that most users don't have the time or get intimidated by performing such procedures on their own, just like most people are afraid of trying to play doctor on their own bodies or mechanic with their own vehicles.

"Just like I go to a specialist for things I don't understand like watch repair, car repair, medical issues, I trust information technology professionals, with a proven track record that can fix my problems and educate me on how to protect myself from future problems" - says Christine Bradley, a Internet-based Children's Bookstore owner.

Bradley's company www.Simply4Learning.com relies on the Internet and her PC and says she cannot afford to have her business or customer information in jeopardy at anytime.

Bradley says that Geeks In A Flash! has "kept my system in optimal working oder, my customer information safe, and taught me how to identify problems before they become major issues"

"We try at all cost to educate our customers so that disaster is minimal at all times" says CEO, Manuel W. Lloyd. "Most people rely heavily on their computers for communicating with email, doing research and buying/selling on the Internet, so identity theft is a prime target for hackers... if users can put in preventive measures early enough, not only does their information becomes safer, but also that of their family, friends, and customers too."

Geeks In A Flash! uses a process that allows customer who suspect or have known problems to pull into their "virutal garage". It's like going to a place to get your car checked, or going to a doctor to get a routine checkup.

Software giant, Microsoft is now using this type of technology in their Windows XP operating system, called "Remote Assistance".
