Protection from keyloggers
William
Could you, please, recommend a program able to protect my PC from
keyloggers. Moreover, the program must define as more keyloggers as
possible and not only their current versions but also the next ones.
Protection from so called hardware keyloggers is also desirable.
Thanks

Take a pair of wire cutters, find the point where your keyboard cable
enters your computer, and snip.
If this is a genuine enquiry, try picking the most appropriate newsgroup
and explaining what threat you are trying to defend yourself against.

I've come across the PrivacyKeyboard and tried it from anti-hack.biz.
It's really good. I downloaded a dozen of the most drastic keyloggers
and tested - none of them worked. As the developer says it is also
effective against hardware keyloggers. And moreover - as far as I
understood it's not a signature-based. On their site www.anti-hack.biz
they wrote:
"The PrivacyKeyboard™ for Microsoft® Windows® NT/2000/XP
Workstations is the FIRST product of its kind in the world that can
provide every computer with strong protection against ALL types of
keylogging programs and keylogging hardware devices, both known and
unknown, currently in use or presently being developed worldwide. Once
installed PrivacyKeyboard™ will protect your privacy immediately
and constantly."

It should be possible to detect if there are message hooks - and
to prevent them from working. For it is easy to write a keylogger
using message hooks, that should work with most of the "toolz".
More difficult are key loggers which are working as kernel modules /
keyboard drivers. You only can test if your keyboard driver is that
module you expected, and you can hope that no-one uses a keyboard
event supervisor like an alternative IRQ handler or a software which
polls the keyboard buffer in kernel space. You cannot detect a kernel
debugger also.
And no hardware keylogger can be detected or stopped at all.

Thanks everybody for your help. I have tested PrivacyKeyboard as
suggested by Alex. For the experiment I set up a couple of the most
known monitoring systems: SpyAgent, Ghost Keylogger, IamBigBrother,
Spector Pro, iSpyNow and Boss Everyware. For two hours I've been
visiting different sites, entering passwords and just typing texts.
Then I decided to check the keyloggers' log files and I was surprised
to find them absolutely empty. I guessed if these programs function
properly at all. So I disabled PrivacyKeyboard, typed some text and
then found it captured in the log file. Thus, PrivacyKeyboard really
works! Then I connected the hardware keylogger to my keyboard and
operated important information on my PC - my credit card data. No bit
of information has gone beyond the monitor! Excellent results!

Your hardware keylogger does not work or you're not telling the truth
here.
BTW: "william...@s-mail.com" asks, "alex....@s-mail.com" answers.
There are no postings at all from one of the above in Google archive
beside the keylogger topic. No information about those fake E-Mail
addresses at all in the web.
Nice try to spam, dear defrauders. And welcome to my killfile.
If your software needs swindle like that to sell, perhaps it is a
swindle itself.
