Lil_Flip Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I need a program that stops keyloggers from even entering you computer. I'm willing to pay for it,(one time fee) I want to be as safe as possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeoteddybear Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I have to say PestPatrol is pretty good at stopping trojans..gotta pay for it though. It has active scanning and it's always being updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael_West Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Well here goes my long explanation to help protect from keyloggers. Isn't 100% proof but will help a lot when protecting your computer. 1. OS - If using Windows then always keep your computer up to date. 2. Firewall - Firewalls are important to keep hackers getting in and stopping programs using the internet without your permission. Zonealarm and SyGate are the top free versions. 3. Spyware protection - In this case more is better then less. I personally use 3 different programs for this. Lavasoft Ad-Adware - Good for detecting all small and large spyware through searching every file and registry. SpyBot Search and Destroy - Good for detecting a few things that Ad-Aware misses. SpyWare Blaster - Blocks a lot of spyware and helps to stop the spyware getting to your computer in the first place. 4. Anti-Virus protection - Norton Anti-Virus is a top choice but if you want a free version then AVG Anti-Virus is good too. 5. Common Sense - Don't accept any files from an untrusted source and don't download any files from untrusted sites. Finally here is a few links to help you out; ZoneAlarm - http://www.zonealarm.com SyGate - http://www.sygate.com AVG - http://www.grisoft.com LavaSoft Ad-Aware - http://www.Lavasoft.de SpyBot Search and Destroy - http://security.kolla.de/ SpyWare Blaster - http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html In conclusion, run anti-virus check once a week and spyware checks twice a week. This should help to protect your PC and hopefully avoid keyloggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought there would be a program that specilizes in keeping keyloggers from entering your computer, guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 If its a particularly nasty and illegal keylogger then its likely that your Anti Virus (if its good and updated) will catch it before it saves onto your computer and gets a chance to run but there really isnt a specific program to stop keyloggers installing. Firewalls can stop it from "phoning home" but you need to get your security settings high and make sure you patch your pc to stop it actually self installing through any vulnerabilities in your OS or Browser.

Lil_Flip Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 Should I buy this to stop spyware from entering? http://www.lavasoft.de/ad-aware/persona ... rade.shtml I'm kind of confused. Keyloggers can be in both spyware and viruses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Should I buy this to stop spyware from entering? http://www.lavasoft.de/ad-aware/persona ... rade.shtml If you are paranoid about getting spyware on your system then sure buy it. But I would say Ad-aware SE is sufficient itself. Just scan with it every couple of days along with the other programs Michaelwest suggested and you should be fine.

Thanks for all of your replies, they've helped me out :) Virus: A malicious program that can spread automatically. Trojan: A malicious program that is disguised as legitimate and can not spread automatically. Relies on user's stupidity. Spyware: NEVER gets installed on your computer without your knowledge (unless someone other installs it). If it installs without user's knowledge, it is a Trojan horse. Advertising programs are usually called spyware. Keyloggers that are sent by someone who wants to steal your PW are Trojans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
