Zemana Key logger Test

Well, I am not being paranoid here but out of curiosity i downloaded this program(Keyboard.exe) from http://www.zemana.com/keylogger_test.aspx and ran it but Privatefirewall(I have this along with avast free) failed to recognise it and did not even list it in process monitor let alone triggering any alert. So is there any free program that can pass this test?

Is the Anti Logger protection separate from the System protection? Will the Anti Logger work with System disabled?

 

I read *somewhere* that System Protection is needed for certain aspects of keylogger protection. But I might be wrongly remembering.

 

Just tried:

- The Anti Logger protection IS separate from the System protection.

- Will the Anti Logger work with System disabled? YES.

 

Cant Online Armor Free do this? It lists programs that are capable of keylogging.

 

Thanks for the link guest. I'll try it and see if it really works.

 

No prob, Safe days

 

Privatefirewall alerted me. It gave me 2 alerts. First that a new process was starting and keylogging activity when I ran the test program.

 

Unless you are an experienced HIPS user, i would avoid spyshelter and use a product that gives you more informative warnings.

 

Really? . I must have done something wrong. It could also possibly be due to the fact that I was running an old version of Privatefirewall(only last night I installed the new version). Anyways thanks for the information.

 

GREAT news! Thanks.

Please give info as to your PFW's slider settings . . .

+(Main Menu - Internet Security & Network Security - High, Low, or Custom?)

+(Process Monitor - High, Med, or Off?)

 

I have both settings set to high. I set them to high when I first installed Private Firewall to see how noisy it would be for my normal day to day computer use. After I trained Private Firewall and it learn my installed software it has been quiet. I only get an alert when I install new programs or run already installed programs I haven't trained it to recognize yet.



It's been running very smooth for the last 4 days. No complaints.

 

Okay, I am on-topic because I am discussing how to get Private FW to "pass" the Zemana Key Logger Test.

The key to passing this test (or to dealing with any questionable process) is to configure PFW as shown below. Doing this will give you more pop-ups, but it will also give you better alerts to possible malware.


Also, set PFW's sliders to "High" as Malcontent has done.

 

Yeah, that's how I have mine configured. I now remember choosing these settings because Private Firewall was constantly alerting me to some specific traffic on my internal network. I totally forgot I made the changes.

I didn't even remember making the changes until I saw bellgamin' post.

 

Thanks bellgamin for articulating it so well. I never realised this option. This is another reminder that default configuration is not always good.
