Hello,

I need a good software tool to stop keyloggers. I searched on Google and found an overwhelming offer, some free and some paid; but I am interested in your personal suggestions, something that you use and are satisfied with! :) Also many anti spyware tools that I've found are basing on a signature database, and might not work with custom home made keyloggers or spware. Anyone knows a tool that blocks keyloggers and spyware without using a signature database?
:(

Well, the first and best tool to stop key-loggers is education. Knowing what to click and what not to click. Most spyware gets installed because of a user making a bad decision.

Windows Defender is a pretty good tool for stopping installs of key-loggers, and making user accounts non-administrator also helps.

It sounds like you're looking for a heuristic anti-key-logger tool...and I haven't heard of such a thing. It might be out there, who knows? I suspect you'll find anti-spyware tools in general, not specifically an anti-key-logger.

It sounds like an excelent product, and I also found Anti Keylogger Shield http://www.amictools.com/ v-anti_keylogger_shield.html which block any keyloggers, known or unknown. I will still check a few other before I decide which one I will use on the long term! :D :D :D

A Third Frontier of Your Security

The first obstacle for harmful programs on the way to your computer is a firewall, which prevents it from penetration. The second frontier is an antivirus program, which accomplishes scanning of all files on your computer searching for known viruses. Keylogger Hunter may definitely become a third frontier, which would guarantee full information security.
This program neither limits access to the computer from the World Web (use a firewall for that), nor it searches for viruses (antivirus software will do that). It simply bars hook-based keyloggers from gathering information about the keys you press.
Usage of such programs is of great significance. It is especially true for those users who attach the importance of information entered to the computer with the help of the keyboard (credit card numbers, private and official letters, etc), and are ready to spend up on a third frontier of information security. Keylogger Hunter does not require regular database updating, since it is based on a different principle. All new features will be easily available to all registered users, as we provide you with perpetual free updates.
Do you wonder how Keylogger Hunter works? Generally speaking, the program is wedged between a keylogger and Windows, thus preventing data gathering by a keylogger.
This additional security frontier will make your work on the Web (which teem with different ubiquitous spyware!) much safer.
