Zemana AntiLogger, Softpedia Giveaway

anyway 365 days without update? i dont think this giveaways will last long ...

 

I finally got it to activate. The problem was that the in-program activation had problems connecting through a proxy server and for some reason wouldn't accept the manually generated license key (via the activate by browser option). I had to downgrade to v1.9.2.162 in order to use the manually generated license. Then I upgraded back to the latest version. Phew!

 

Does anyone know what happens after the 365 day period expires? Does the software refuse to run after that or does it just affect the ability to run the updater?

 

YES

its protection became disabled (icon became gray) and need to pay

 

You are right - its an online activation key from Zemana like the last Giveaway of the Day code.
I assume same as last that it only can be activated today latest tommorrow.

 

That stinks! Then again, I'm pretty sure I'll dump this in a few weeks like I did last time. Thanks for the heads-up!

 

You can run Zemana as an "on-demand/real-time" application. That is:

1- Zemana has the option to start with Windows, or not. Zemana is easy to start on-demand, & easy to exit when done. AFAIK it imposes ZERO overhead on system resources except when you specifically choose to run it.

2- Thus, you can easily choose to run Zemana ONLY at those times when:
a- you are doing something that involves *sensitive* private information, such as when you are banking
AND
b- when you are initially trialing a new application

 

Thanks for that answer, bellgamin.

But as I posted a bit earlier in this thread, I am unable to download this file to a location of my choice. It demands to be run from a temp file, and I am not in favor of running a program this way without first saving it to disk and scanning it with various security applications. Almost all other software I am able to download to a location of choice, without having to run the executable from a temp file. I don't know if others have encountered this, or if they even care.

 

On my laptop I have Norton antivirus, MBAM paid and Online Armor Premium. On my desktop I have Nod32, MBAM paid and Online Armor Premium. Both boxes have Vista OS. Does Zemana overlap the protection I already have? Is there really some need for me to have it. I do some online financial transactions.

Also I run Google Chrome browser about 95% of the time and the rest of the time split evenly between IE8, FF and Opera 10.5.

Just looking for some objective advice/opinions.

Thanks

 

On line armor premium has keylogger protection. You can add selective protetion by downloading Trusteer Rapport: I run it with the following policy settings (page 2 of console)
- everything on NEVER, execpt
- Block screen capturing (partner + my own added sensitive sites)
- Block keylogging (same: partner + my own added sensitive sites)
- When log-in info is used etc (same ..)
- Block browser process alteration (Allways)
- Protect Rapport from unauthorised removal (Allways)

You just gave to add your sensitive sites manaually. Offcourse when your bank is one of the partners, use this advantage (like sensitive cookie blocking)

The free version allows you to add 50 websites or so

 

thanks for the info kees

 

@Page42

Hi, what browser are you using ?

With FF i get this



With IE6 i get this



FF allows me to download to my preselected choice, but IE only does as you found, Run or cancel

 

Is it like you have to install it today or you can install on your computer at any given day

 

Zemana dosent work with DW2.56 (Gizmo) on win xp home 32 bit...

 

XP Pro 32 bit here, Zemana running with DW v2.56, OA Premium, DataGuard, Avira AntiVir, MBAM, TrojanHunter and Prevx, all real-time

 

sorry my mistake,i check it and now see that zemana dosent work with Vipre AV

On Win & ultimate 32 bit Zemana and Vipre works like a charm,problems are(BSODS)on win XP home 32 bit

 

Hi CloneRanger, and thanks for the input.
I am running IE8.
To be clear, almost all other software I am able to download to a location of choice, in other words, save the file.

 

Hi Folks,

Do I want kernel changes ?
How do i know that they will not cause troubles in some other way, shape or form ?

(I have downloaded and installed the freebie Zemana but have not rebooted and activated, so I also wonder when these changes are made.)

Shalom,
Steven Avery

 

.
Many security programs "hook" the kernel. That's how they are able to provide the low level monitoring necessary to catch the bad stuff. The question to ask is does a program do this without causing problems and uninstall cleanly down the road? I've used Zemana AL and it was well behaved on my system.

 

Hi Folks,

Thanks. I guess "kernel change" sounds intimidating, but if they are simply going to a spot or two and asking for info, and then remove as cleanly as possible on uninstall, that is the nature of the XP system. I am used to mini-computer Op Sys that are super-protected.

Zamana seems to have a good reputation, so I will continue.

Shalom,
Steven

 

i don't trust Zemana since its a weak protection , which already tested by some member in here...so i skip it finally

 

to fully protect your system zemana is not what you want

 

True...
Just checked

IE 8 offers me only to RUN it or cancel, that's odd.

And it's odd that yesterday I installed Zemana (Downloaded with Firefox) in my PC desktop with Windows 7 Ultimate 7 32 bit and in VMware Player with XP Mode, and I got two BSOD (both on Windows 7 and on XP ).
I had to perform a system restore in Windows 7.
Even if actually the faulting module doesn't seems to be Zemana, I do not think it is a coincidence.

It is a pity 'cause I think Zemana is a good software, perhaps some security software I use didn't like it for some reasons

 

@leofelix

Yeah wierd

So is this.

rdyboost.sys http://www.faultwire.com/file_detail/rdyboost.sys*36754.html

Still think it's connected ?

Another strange that happend during my download tests for Page42, that i didn't mention. At some point doing the IE6 test, my speakers made some very loud odd squealing noises, the like i've never heard before Couldn't cancel the DL prompts and had to Ctl/Alt/Delete out of it

No harm done, but wierd.

EDIT. Just wondering if the IE issues might be anything to do with Softpedia in some way ?

 

Hi
To be honest I do not know
I've found several forums with a lot of people who are driving crazy thanks to the same BSOD apparently caused by ReadyBoost Driver in their Windows 7.
And no solution could be provided as far as I know.

Less than one month ago I could get another 1 year Zemana license for free . But I had to uninstall it, 'cause of too many false positive detections.

That's funny: I never had a BSOD in Vista and in my PC with XP Pro.
I had to wait for Windows 7 32 bit

[EDIT] I have just tried to download Zemana Softpedia edition with Opera 10.50: Opera offers to run, save, cancel but cannot know if that file is safe (or this is my translation into english from italian ehm)
