I wrote an agent that watches current google search queries in realtime
(not quite realtime, but quite close)
This is not hard to do, either. I suspect this is what's going on.
Log into your machine as root and do a ps aux and show us the output. I
highly doubt there is a piece of malware
running, but it's worth checking for.

I use suse 9.3 pro on home network. Boxed retail DVD set. Suse firewall. Security updates are current. KDE Konqueror and / or Firefox. Comcast cable internet service provider. No alias.
Everyday I am seeing spam email which is a reflection of complex sensitive key word phrases I had typed into google just a few days previously.
What are the security implications of this? How do I configure what I have to stop this? What additional measures might be appropriate? Is this spying for commercial purposes or could it be US Government spying? The linux network worm?
Aliasing? Fire wall configuration? Stop always connected cable internet and go back to using on demand dialup.?
My first reactions are to look into aliasing. Or go back to on demand dialup.
But if keystrokes are being detected then there is no security. Very alarming.
Thanks to any who can help Martin
This may be completely unrelated, but do the subject lines for the spam you refer to start with "Amazing, "?
