keyscrambler free needed when having CIS ?

Hi, I have CIS and the D+ already offers anti keyloging. So would keyscrambler free give me any advantage? I might also get avast free av / eset av instead of the comodo av (but keeping fw and d+).

thanks

 

Comodo firewall and Avast are a great combo. If you really concerned about keyloggers than yes keyscrambler will help. If a keylogger makes it through avast and D+, then your key strokes will be encypted. It's very light and easy to use. Hope this helps.

 

Keyscrambler and D+ are complimentary yes.

Whilst D+ should intercept any keylogging activity,if for any reason it fails,KS will ensure only junk data is logged.

As kjdemuth says,Comodo FW and Avast are are very good combo,you might want to disable one or other of the sandboxes to avoid overlap though.

 

alright.. I'm not sure if i would need keyscrambler than.. i belive that keylogging is 1990 anyway.. these days people use password stealers to get your data (when saved) :S

Is keyscrambler free some kind of browser addon or is it a full program running in the backround and using resources ?

Cause I would already have CIS,Avast,MBAM pro, Sandboxie in the backround. Surely my laptop could handle keyscrambler as well.. but I don't want any system slow downs due to having too many security products running.

thanks

 

The free version is an add-on that only appears in the tray when the browser is open, consumes very, very low memory and will not lower the computer's performance.

KeySrambler is always a good option, does not weigh and encrypts.

 

CIS is able to block any try to log the keystrokes on real time.
If you really want to add an additional layer of protection try Trusteer Rapport, or Prevx Safe Online free.

 

Yeah. I agree there. The free version of Keyscrambler is only an add-on for FF and will protect only in FF.

 

But if a malware try to capture keystrokes from you will get an alert anyway.
What I mean is that you really want to include an additional layer of protection to CIS, trusteer rapport is the best choice, but it only affects to your browser.

 

Since I use LastPass for logging into webpages, this layer of security wouldn't be needed very often :>

 

If you use LastPass you probably don't need keyscrambler.
LastPass or keyscrambler will not protect you against malware like Zeus that is able to steal your passwords.

instead of rapport I could also use a VPN service ? Rapport protects you against MITM attacks and so does a VPN ?

I don't know if the VPN will be able to do that:

Take a look to the banking test of august in the website http://malwareresearchgroup.com/malware-tests/ when it works.

 

ah right.. iu guess trusteer rapport offers more protection then. Hpwever, it looks like you can only use that software if your banking website offers it as security solution.. which mine doesn't :S

 

You can add any site manually (your bank, gmail, hotmail any https), also take a look to the advanced settings so you can improve the protection of the sites added manually.
Also by default it offers an additional protection for your browser even if you are not in a protected site.

Prevx Safe Online Free may be more user friendly and more or less do the same thing

 

ye i already wanted to try out prevx free online.. i just wonder how exactly this tool protects you from MITM attacks (password sniffing is a man in the middle attack as well? so how could prevx protect me against it).

Prevx also seems to have many positive feedbacks.

So I guess no keyscrambler and maybe prevx online free

 

Safe Online is like trusteer rapport, install it and take a look to the settings, I prefer trusteer rapport manually configured.
With prevx safe online also their av is installed but without removal or blocking capabilities only detection. (Prevx is compatible with other av's)

If you have any of those and Comodo IS your don't need keyscrambler.
Keyscrambler is not able to protect your passwords against modern banking malware like zeus.

and if the website works for you also here (or try later): http://malwareresearchgroup.com/malware-tests/

 

I'm refreshing that site already for the whole night but still down

Thanks for helping me out here.. I guess Prevx online free will be added to my security setup

 

one more question: would prevx safe online free conflict with comodos keylogging protection? or avast free av?

 

No, It will work great, you are adding an additional security layer the overlap is minimum or non existent.
One problem that I see in Safe Online is that it will be probably discontinued soon because webroot bought Prevx and maybe there will not be a free version anymore. So maybe you want to try trusteer rapport also.

 

Alright thanks for your help

 

is trusteer rapport, is there away to automatically protect all websites I visit? also sad that they aren't partners of any sites i visit (facebook,banking,...)

@edit: and if i got it right, rapport will force their own DNS server.. can i disable that somehow? I already use NortonDNS.

 

Zak- I really wouldn't put much faith in any AM Suites ability to detect keyloggers, especially if not at proper settings.

Assuming that you have a VM setup I've sent you a toy to play with.

Enjoy!

 

thanks i will try it against different setup in virtualbox

 

As seen HERE , KeyScrambler Personal
is also for Internet Explorer and Flock.
