If you have installed extensions and plugins then they also have separate process for each of them. Chrome's this feature  occupies a lot of memory and hence might degrade the performance of your browser or your whole system. So there is an extension     named 'TooManyTabs' which can help to reduce chrome's memory usage.  Using TooManyTabs extension you can selectively choose inactive tabs to be suspended so that they do not occupy any memory space. Suspending a tab/link is similar to bookmarking, which store the tab in TooManyTab, but also closes the tab from your browser.  Read the...

Hardware key-logger  is a tiny device that plugs in between a keyboard and computer, and  is a very popular way of capturing and storing keystrokes from keyboard to their internal memory. Hardware keylogger are coming with 512 KB upto 2 GB memory. A 512 KB keylogger can store more than  512000 captured key strokes.  It can capture data for 3 month with 8 hours working on computer daily. Can you imagine that how many secret information can be stored if the memory is 2GB.  Advantage of hardware keylogger over Software keylogger: Hardware keyloggers are not OS dependents, hence can work on any OS. It does not interfere with any program running on the target machine and hence cannot be detected by any software, but software keyloggers are mostly detectable by good anti-viruses.   Software keyloggers can be fooled by sending encrypted or fake keystrokes, but in case of hardware keylogger as it is directly inline ...
