I need a FREE antikeylogger and I'm done.

[For Windows 7 Only] here's a tutorial how to apply Microsoft Baseline Security template (tools included)
http://www.mediafire.com/?a6oqyg7tvtyikva

 

Keylogger blockers aren't really useful. If you have a proper prevention setup, why bother with programs that assume you're infected?

 

I don't trust even the most legitimate programs, yes, including my security apps.

 

Trying out Emsisoft Anti-Malware + Online Armor Premium

 

good combo man

 

Who do you have out to get you?

 

Why do you trust another security app then?

 

i think a solid firewall software will do the job as to control for outbound trafic in real time

 

I don't know...

I don't know this as well...

 

A lot of the security software (Comodo has a lot of features like this) are really not anti-malware but antihacker. Unless you frequent sketchy forums or are a target for some other reason... they're kind of useless to most people. And yet I see most people implement these security features on here (I'm one of them.) I just feel that there's a point where you should look at your setup and say "What can I take away?"

 

Well, we are all paranoids here man

 

Just to reiterate :-

Sandboxie Free, AVG 2011 Free and ZA Free, plus SpywareBlaster.

Anybody who uses Sandboxie or Returnil makes this thread irrelevant, over 15,500 posts become just uninteresting reading matter.

With these two programs, security is absolute. Endgame.

 

Odd, I use Sandboxie and yet still enjoy reading this thread all the time (except for maybe one very recent irritatingly self-important post ).

Tried Look 'n' Stop but had a few issues, went back to the simple Windows 7 firewall. Probably enough since I'm using a router.

 

re-installed Sandboxie for more protection for Firefox 4.

 

DefenseWall FW+HIPS 3.12
Shadow Defender 1.1.0.325
Macrium Reflect Full Edition 4.2/3141

 

Tried OA++ yesterday...it was much much lighter than i had expected...even lighter than avast maybe...
but there are very few almost nil options for the antivirus part of the suite so uninstalled it and back to AIS

 

That is to say, the number of the option does not do any useful work, it's a code that does it

 

Changed Main/Default browser from Opera to Internet Explorer 9

I'm wondering why CCleaner took longer to clean IE9 compared to other browsers.

 

code...what code ?

 

Just used EMET and set it to maximum security.
