I'm trying to install a keylogger on my computer (Windows Home 7 Premium) and my ESET Smart Security 6 (Version 6.0.316.0) keeps blocking it, and or erasing it as soon as I download it. I've tried disabling my ESET completely, which works to install, but eventually it just gets deleted again. Any tips? I'm using REFOG Keylogger.

I would never do that if I had any children, feels wrong doing that. Better to use a DNS serice like OpenDNS and through it block access to websites that you don't want your childern to visit. Or use a the parental control feature in ESS like another example.

Lets reverse it as far as trying to teach your children good internet practice and change it up to where its too late for your children and they are already going to a certain website and performing criminal acts. Yes its to late but what now ?

Ok now lets think about large companies and employees. Lets take a look at encryption, because it could take a very long time to un-encrypt or decrypt a strongly needed password, if it was lost and you have no means of retrieving .

1) Does Eset NOD32, v7.x (and possibly 6.x and 5.x) include an anti-keylogger component?
2) If not, does anyone know of an anti-keylogger program known to not interfere with NOD32?
3) Does setting up Win7sp1 to require Ctrl-Alt-Delete before logging onto a computer with a password make an anti-keylogger program unneeded?

ESET's software detects keyloggers using both conventional signatures (which detect many as part of the Win32\Keylogger family) and technologies like heuristics and HIPS. There is however, no particular feature such as a specific anti-keylogging module.

I myself have not done any testing to determine what third-party anti-keylogging programs are compatible with ESET's software. At a minimum, I would expect both programs need to be configured to exclude each other, though.

Re your "I am unsure of why requiring a Ctrl-Alt-Delete to logon would prevent a keylogger from being installed on a system": I am unsure also. My understanding is that requiring Ctrl-Alt-Delete before a logon prevents malware from capturing the login name and password (David Pogue's Windows 7, the Missing Manual, O'Reilly publisher, page 771). Since I don't understand how malware keyloggers work, I thought that maybe Ctrl+Alt+Delete might not only prevent a malware keylogger from capturing a password but might also block other keystrokes. (I also don't understand how anti-keyloggers work.)

FYI Re Raxco's PerfectGuard anti-keylogger and also anti-clipboard logger: By email I asked Raxco's customer service whether their PerfectGuard anti-keylogger would work with Eset's anti-virus, and they answered back that PerfecctGuard would not interfere with Eset's software.

I may try PerfectGuard on a trial basis. I did just now ran their simulator anti-keylogger test at hxxp://download.raxco.com/keylogger-simulator, and it claimed that I was vulnerable to a malware keylogger. Of course, Eset's NOD32 v7.x was running on my computer. But since I wasn't typing anything (just watching the screen), I am a bit skeptical that the simulator was actually giving Eset's presence an actual test.

I do not have a copy of David Pogue's Windows 7, the Missing Manual handy, but looking at that particular page via Amazon, it appears it is discussing the "Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE to log on" prompt that used to appear when logging into some older version of Windows. The concern at the time, as I understand it, was that the computer could have already been booted up, logged into, and someone could then have run a fake "login screen" program to steal the credentials of the next person to use it. Unfortunately, with malware running earlier and earlier in the boot process these days, the amount of security this mechanism now provides is somewhat decreased.

Given the Christmas season, I have not had time to check out the trial Raxco's PerfectGuard, but I do intend to try it. I will post my results here. (Incidentally, before I try PerfectGuard, I will have made a backup image of my partition C:, so I can restore that rather than trust the completeness of Microsoft's Win7sp1 uninstall procedures.)

In your post of 13 December in this thread, you wrote that "ESET's software detects keyloggers using both conventional signatures (which detect many as part of the Win32\Keylogger family) and technologies like heuristics and HIPS. There is however, no particular feature such as a specific anti-keylogging module."

Your first sentence there was good news, and it would be interesting to know if Eset's software --- even without a "specific anti-keylogging module --- makes other anti-keylogger software such as PerfectGuard unnecessary.

Not being as familiar with anti-keylogging software as I am with ESET's, I could not say how much additional protection they provide, if any, over ESET's existing technologies. This is also one of those areas where the risk level varies wildly between computer usage scenarios.

Above all else, ESET Smart Security has Parental Controls as well, just not keylogging. I recommend it over keylogging for restricting access, however keylogging is more of a "catch in the act".

A year ago I installed a best keylogger software on my personal computer and I am very satisfied. I also installed keyloggers on all computers in my company, to keep track of real work that my empolyees are doing, and I must say that the given informations were really good.

I have been trying for a bit now to test out the ESET Smart Security Premium I downloaded it and installed it but the seconds I logged into my account with ESET it defaulted to the ESET NOD 32 installation which I did not catch. I want to upgrade to the ESET Smart Security Premium. Is there any way to do this from my account? I have tried to add a license or upgrade but the options are something like add a free license or upgrade my current NOD 32 to 3 users but nothing for me to upgrade to ESET Smart Security Premium

Thanks for the reply.. I tried that too. You would think trying to upgrade your subscription would be the easiest thing in the world and interface. I mean to be honest that is probably the most important part of the product..

Ok, so try it the hard way, do the upgrade to Internet security and then upgrade that to smart security. It prorates the prices just as it did it for the NOD to internet security upgrade. Outside that wait for an actual Eset employee to pop in the thread or email support.

contact the support of your region and ask them to upgrade the license key. i did it myself and after paying a small ont-time fee my key was upgraded to Premium and was able to upgrade the installed program.

Thanks for all the replies... Sorry have been ill. I decided to upgrade to Internet Security and then Upgrade to Premium through the portal. It is 2 steps, but I did not have to talk anyone. It was a small fee as stated above and to be honest, the extra features provided for me having used NORTON before. All I can say is I like the way ESET does it better.. its faster, cleaner, its just nice.. So kudoz to ESET for making the premium a great upgrade to invest in.

Maybe Eset should fix this?

This is the only way right now to upgrade your license from say NOD32 to Smart Security Premium or Internet Security:
Login to :
Select your license and open it
Click on the icon with the two up arrows (upper right corner)) and select Upgrade.
Upgrade and pay for your license.
NOW you can assign the upgraded license either online or by following these instructions in the Eset application (Change products after installation):
-change-your-eset-windows-home-product#after

I upgraded from EIS to ESSP yesterday via Eset eStore. After my credit card payment was applied, EIS auto upgraded to ESSP. The only thing I had to do was restart EIS per Eset GUI home page display alert. After EIS restart, I was running ESSP.
