Best Program for Detecting Keylogger

Discussions cover how to detect, fix, and remove viruses, spyware, adware, malware, and other vulnerabilities on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.

Once keystrokes are logged, they are hidden in the machine for later retrieval, or shipped raw to the attacker. The attacker then peruses them carefully in the hopes of either finding passwords, or possibly other useful information that could be used to compromise the system or be used in a social engineering attack.

For example, a key logger will reveal the contents of all e-mail composed by the user. Keylog programs are commonly included in rootkits and RATs remote administration trojans. A Key Logger normally consists of two files: Therefore when you deploy the hooker on a system, two such files must be present in the same directory.

ProBot Activity Monitor http: I had a post on advanced keylogger that was found by, of all people, AOL. I do trust my Ewido, though. Trojans and Keyloggers No chance for thieves to steal your bank data and personal sensitive information by tapped Internet connections, remote controlled webcams or secret keyboard recordings.

I wonder what AOL found if ewido didn't find anything. It doesn't give any details, just says advanced keylogger blocked at this time, this day. But thanks for reenforcing my faith in Ewido! Also is this overkill to have all 5 of these programs?

With searchbot you mean: No is NOT overkill as e. I even would add: Thank you for all your help marianna. You mentioned running it on demand. I notice it still shows up in my tray.

It does not show up in my msconfig or startup folder. How do I remove it from the tray? To disable the guard, which should also remove it from the tray, open the program and there is a list titled "additional" on the front of the program.

Click where it says "Remove Guard" and follow the prompts. You MAY have to reboot after that, I don't remember, it's been a long time since I had to do this myself. Once that is done, you can still use the scanner whenever you want, just click on whatever program shortcut you have for it. After the first 2 weeks is up, you will also lose the automatic updating but you can use the manual update button which only takes a few seconds unless it is a full database update which is rare. We post the updates in our "Updates" thread here in this forum if you would like to check that periodically.

Ewido normally updates 2 or 3 times a day. I installed The Cleaner about 3 years ago, when you brought it to my attention in this forum. So far, I've never had any problem with trojans. Do you think Ewido is a better application for protection against trojans, worms, keyloggers, etc.?

It is only a little over a year old but is an excellent program. BUT if the Cleaner has worked for you for 3 years, I see no reason to change. If you ever got infected with something that ewido would remove but the Cleaner wouldn't you could download it at that time. I did have Ewido installed on my pc for the day trial period. After that time period, realtime monitoring ceased.

So I uninstalled Ewido, because all I had was a manual trojan scanner. I would feel more comfortable also having ewido as a backup but with the guard disabled so you have a backup scanner and only use it of you need it. It is not totally necessary but I would not call it overkill either. I've personally got quite a number of emergency programs on my own computer that I rarly use except to keep them updated but I have them on hand for an emergency. The reason I do this is that some malware will not let you download things which you would not have to do if you already have them, on the computer.

As long as space is not an issue for you, I see no harm in having extras. I also do it so I know how to use the programs so I can answer questions about them if need be. Roddy, I agree with you about having a backup trojan application, so I just re-installed Ewido. I un-installed it awhile back, because Realtime Protection and Automatic Update options became inactive after the trial period. Since I don't intend to purchase it, will I still be able to download the updates manually, when the trial period ends, in order to keep the definitions current for an on-demand scan?

I always post the updates in the updates thread every day. It updates usually 2 or 3 times a day on the week days and a little less often on the weekends. Sophos Rootkit Removal is a free rootkit scanning, detection and removal tool. It is a free Virus Removal Tool scans, detects and removes any rootkit that is hidden on your computer using advanced rootkit detection technology. Rootkits can lie hidden on computers and remain undetected by antivirus software. Although new rootkits can be prevented from infecting the system, any rootkits present before your antivirus was installed may never be revealed.

McAfee Rootkit Remover is a stand-alone utility used to detect and remove complex rootkits and associated malware.

McAfee Labs plans to add coverage for more rootkit families in future versions of the tool. How come you missed application such as SpyShelter which is far superior to those applications. Comodo also has a decent HIPS which deals with it. This is like the 2nd time your company or someone related to your company drop such comment. Perhaps you guys should hire a better SEO for your website. Perhaps you having paranoia or flashbacks, you should learn more about topic you are going to make suggestions to other people.

Yes, you are my friend. What are the odds? At least use a VPN to mask the IP address if they intend to drop fake comments about their own product. You lie simply, all you want is writing bullshit and get naive audience. Because it was not me repeating this 3rd and last time. Not bad review but sounds like paid review by MBAM.

There is lack of major anti loggers programs and other great antirootkit including freeware. Ngan, Good review thank you. Sad that the above responders are such retards. I certainly wont take a look at spyshelter now: Have you heard of Cylance yet? The comments here are funny so I felt I had to respond. This is a nice review! I know someone who has tried BitDefender and Norton and it turned out to be great. It performed tasks the way it should be. Everything must be bought from this list, right?

How keyloggers find their way into your life

This is a naive question- I am very new to this. I suspect my ex installed a keylogger on my computer. I not only want to detect and remove it, I want to be able to prove that it was installed in the first place. Will these software be able to show that, too? Which one would be the best one for that?
