    Thank you. No. I didn't mean MBAM. I use that too and wouldn't be without it. I am just trying to think, for the future and figure when MBAR is out of beta, if I need to keep Zemana and also run MBAR, if the 2 are compatible to even run together, and if not, the advantage I would gain from MBAR and loose with Zemana. I only have one box, so whatever I do needs to be done with lots of thought prior to action.

    Any thoughts about that would be of great interest to me. I certainly don't want to screw up anything that is working well.

    Don't fix what is already working. MS seems to forget that a lot recently....
    I think if Zemana is working for you then you should stay with it. However after AR comes out of Beta box and becomes part of MBAM then it will provide some keylogger protection. Whether it is as strong as Zemana we can't decide yet because we don't have the complete product out here. One thing to keep in mind is that Zemana was designed from ground up as anti-logger while MBAM was designed from ground up as Anti-malware in general.
    I own MBAM pro with active protection. I like it quite a bit, although I wish there was 64 bit version. One thing that I appreciate about MBAM is the lack of HIPS and it being a lite weight application.

    Thank you. That is just the kind of response I was looking for. And, I too run MBAM Pro, so as nothing is broken, I will just play wait and see and stick with what I have.

    The AR in MBAR = AntiRootkit, not AntiKeylogger !

    A rootkit is just "some" clever code that helps to hide, both itself & the REAL Malware, whatever form that might take. This could be a KeyLogger, or any of the Many other types of Malware.

    So i see no reason why MBAR should be incompatable with Zemana, or other type/s of AK's.

    MBAM it self is Not a dedicated AK, but an AntiMalware App, which doesn't prevent Keylogging per se, but is designed to detect/remove Malware. This includes Rootkits & their payloads, & MBAR is an extension of MBAM concentrating specifically on Rootkits.

    The impressive thing is that MBAM continues to evolve and improve.

    The PCMag review of MBAM stated this:

    And MBAM has responded and is on the path to fixing this.

    This product is a winner.

    Yes, it's important to note that Zemana Antilogger (ZA) blocks malware acitivity, but I don't believe it can remove the malware. You need something like MBAM or MBAR to remove it. ZA will block and warn, and then you can run something to remove the malware.

    MBAR is only a on-demand tool, you start it, run a scan and that's it. Zemana is realtime protection so there is no reason for conflict.

    Thank you all. :) The additional information given on MBAR and Zemana is now much clearer than it was prior to this. I look forward to running it along with that which I already am to continue to more fully help me keep my system clean. MBAR looks as if it is going to be a missing link on my system, once it is no longer in beta.

    And thank you, siljaline, for getting this question started and for suggesting that I sign up for my own account to better word my own thoughts. I already have an account, but woe is me, I could not find my password for the life of me. And worse yet, I couldn't even find any info I had previously. Hence, my starting over. I really need to come here more often! :oops:

    Zemana Anti-Keylogger will check every driver that tries to install. With the improved Intelliguard cloud scanner in the latest release, it will scan anything unknown with lightening speed. Fastest cloud scanning I ever experienced. Of course you have to respond deny to the prompt it generates if it appears to be suspicious activity.

    As far as absolute removal, I don't beleive it will remove all malware traces but it will block it from accessing any critical system areas. It will also quarantine it.

    It is a good idea to periodically review the allow rules it auto generates for known safe software.

    Another plus is Zemana is almost now all 64 bit except for it's screen scraper module.

    If your a control freak, you can select "expert" mode and be alerted to everything it detects.

    Aside from driver checking that uses certificates and Zemana's cloud, Zemana is primarily a behavior blocker.

    Here's a link to everything Zemana's System Defense protection covers: http://www.zemana.com/product/antilogger/modules/system-defence.aspx

    I guess I should also mention all the above applies only to the paid version. The free version just provides basic keylogger plus banker family trojan protection.

    Indeed ! As witnessed by the constant excellent MRG results :thumb:

    As it's not designed to. It's expected other solutions will be in place.

    As far as i'm aware, it doesn't actually remove anything. See above.

    Yes it does :thumb:

    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) is heavily used by most Malware-Removal Fora.
    Therefore, it would be great to see MBAM including the Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit Tool (MBAR)! :thumb:
