Re: Ardamax Keylogger 3.7.8 Serial Key

According to the developers, Ardamax Keylogger is a keylogger that allows capture of users' activities by saving them to a log file. It records keystrokes, visited websites, chats and instant messages, clipboard contents, webcam and microphone activity.
Once installed, this keylogger begins to gather various data mentioned in the introduction. Cyber criminals might also use the software to collect personal or sensitive details that they later use to generate revenue. Therefore, data might be shared, sold, or misused in other ways, thus leading to privacy problems, browsing safety issues, and even identity theft.
This application is often installed by users inadvertently when 'bundled' with other software. Therefore, Ardamax Keylogger may have been installed together with other applications. Bundled apps often come in packs and it is likely that a browser hijacker or adware-type app was also installed. You are strongly advised to uninstall these apps immediately.
Having a keylogger installed (that is used by cyber criminals) might cause serious problems, as can potentially unwanted applications including browser hijackers and adware-type apps. Most bundled apps are installed inadvertently and generate revenue for their developers in a number of ways - in this case, by gathering data and sharing it with third parties.
As mentioned, Ardamax Keylogger is commonly installed when software developers use a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". Bundling is stealth installation of various potentially unwanted applications with other third party software.
Developers hide bundled applications/programs in "Custom", "Advanced" and other options of this type - they do this to make bundled apps more difficult to notice, and they do not disclose information about the presence of this software properly. An easy way for potentially unwanted applications to infiltrate is when users skip installation steps without checking settings/options.
Download software using official and trustworthy sources, and not third party software downloaders/installers, torrents, or other similar sources. Furthermore, check "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings and deselect unwanted offers/features when installing software, especially free products.
Be cautious when clicking ads - avoid clicking intrusive ads. These usually seem legitimate, since developers (potentially, cyber criminals) invest time and money into their design. In fact, they might redirect you to untrustworthy websites such as gambling, pornography, adult dating, and so on.
If you encounter redirects to untrustworthy websites, check your browser for any unwanted/unknown plug-ins, extensions, and add-ons and uninstall them. Also check installed programs on your computer. If your computer is already infected with Ardamax Keylogger, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate this adware.
Right-click on the Start icon, select Apps and Features. In the opened window search for the application you want to uninstall, after locating it, click on the three vertical dots and select Uninstall.
After uninstalling the unwanted application that causes Ardamax Keylogger ads, scan your computer for any remaining unwanted components or possible malware infections. To scan your computer, use recommended malware removal software.
At time of research, Ardamax Keylogger did not install its browser plug-ins on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox, however, it was bundled with other adware. Therefore, you are advised to remove all unwanted browser add-ons from your Internet browsers.
Click the Edge menu icon (at the upper-right corner of Microsoft Edge), select "Extensions". Locate all recently-installed suspicious browser add-ons and click "Remove" below their names.
If you continue to have problems with removal of the ardamax keylogger virus, reset your Microsoft Edge browser settings. Click the Edge menu icon (at the top right corner of Microsoft Edge) and select Settings.
Select Restore settings to their default values. In the opened window, confirm that you wish to reset Microsoft Edge settings to default by clicking the Reset button.

Ardamax Keylogger is a small, easy-to-use keylogger that captures user activity and saves it to a logfile. The logfile can be viewed as a text or web page. Use this tool to find out what is happening on your computer while you're away, maintain a backup of your typed data automatically or use it to monitor your kids.
Hidden mode - Ardamax Keylogger will run in hidden mode, preventing users from knowing it is active. It will NOT show in the Uninstall list, the Task Manager, or the Application menu! This feature makes Ardamax Keylogger absolutely invisible to everyone!
Application tracking - Ardamax Keylogger makes it easy for you to find out where exactly a keystroke was pressed. Whenever a keystroke is typed, Ardamax Keylogger will record the application that was in use that received the keystroke! more
Time/Date tracking - For extra precision, Ardamax Keylogger allows you to pinpoint the exact time a window received a keystroke! Perfect for when you leave Ardamax Keylogger running for days at a time and need to know when a specific keystroke was pressed!
A False Positive is when a file is incorrectly detected as harmful, usually because its code or behavior resembles known harmful programs. A False Positive will usually be fixed in a subsequent database update without any action needed on your part. If you wish, you may also:
Ardamax is a commercial keylogger program that can be installed onto the system from the product's website.& When run, the program can capture a range of user activities, such as keystrokes typed, instant messenger chat logs, web browser activity and even screenshots of the active desktop.
The information gathered is stored in an encrypted log file, which is only viewable using the built-in Log Viewer. The log file can be sent to an external party through e-mail, via a local area network (LAN) or by upload to an FTP server (in either HTML or encrypted format).

I searched everywhere, nothing on slashdot, nothing on google. Ardamax Keyviewer? Should I just write to Ardamax? I am at a loss of what to do. I feel compromised. Has anyone managed to decrypt files like this with cryptanalysis?
If the keylogger encrypted the data, it will likely have the encryption key stored locally. Assuming a symmetric algorithm, if you can find the key, you can decrypt the file. If the logger is using an asymmetric encryption algorithm, well, find the encryption key tells you nothing. I'd bet on the encryption being symmetric, though, because asymmetric takes a lot more CPU.
If you can, watch what system activity happens when the keylogger is started. On windows, for example, monitor the registry reads, filesystem reads, and such. The key may be stored inside the program file, and if so, then you'll have an interesting challenge to figure out the key. If you want to find the attacker, let the logger start up and watch the network traffic. I'd bet no matter how the program phones home, that phone will be some sort of anonymous drop. But you never know, you might get lucky!
We have seen some people infected by this keylogger wondering how to decrypt the file to see where is the malware leaking information to. Well, if you can not do memory analysis or some debugging it is quite easy to decrypt.
Take care of the channels you allow on your network! We have seen how Google do a great job on cancelling accounts of this kind, but we should never have a blind faith on a legit connection because it could be a potential way to leak private information to the outside. - See more at: -threat-exchange/blog/set-up-your-keylogger-to-report-by-email-bad-idea-the-case-of-ardamax#sthash.ixStEibe.dpuf
Ardamax Keylogger Mac refers to the keystroke recorder that monitors EVERYTHING on the computer in total invisible and undetectable mode. The Mac Keylogger records keystrokes made in all applications, such as iChat, Mail, Skype, and Safari and so on, takes screenshots and saves captured information silently. It can capture the time stamp and the name of the application where the keystrokes have been captured. You can check the log in the built-in Log Viewer, or view it through email, LAN or FTP.
Ardamax Keylogger for Mac runs in a silent and secret way and is hard to be discovered by the computer system. The monitored users will not be aware that they are being monitored and cannot see the Mac Keylogger process in Activity Monitor, even with advanced process viewers. The Mac Keylogger can only be accessed by the user who enters the correct password.
