Default Looking for LEGITIMATE anti-keylogger programs

I run Spybot (with Teatimer), Webroot SpySweeper, Spyware Guard, Spyware Blaster, Trend Micro Anti-Spyware, Computer Associates Pest Patrol, V-Com System Suite, ( The preceding run in the system 24/7) along with daily checks via Arovax,, **** Cleaner, Super Cleaner, Cleanup!, CWS Shredder, Rootkit Revealer, F-Secure Blacklight, and Hijack This. I've been of the opinion that this is a fundamentally sound and thorough system defense posture, but after reading a variety of things online and elsewhere am increasingly paranoid about very- hard- to- catch or totally undetectable keyloggers. This fear has been recently intensified by reading statements that even supposedly safe/legitimate sites are planting keyloggers with the intention of ,at the least, using info from the keylogger to target advertising, and/or selling such info to other entities. As such, I've been looking for legitimate keylogger detector and/or keylogger blocker software ( I do have KL-Detector, but find it a bit time consuming and cumbersome to use---I also am unsure of how effective it really is). After doing some searching online and eliminating some obvious losers per Spywareguide.com, I have run across: Unlogger 2.3 I have been unable so far to find any information on it other than advertising blurbs. If anyone reading this is familiar with it please be kind enough to advise me as re its legitimacy (is it malware/spyware/grayware or not)? I also would be grateful for commentary on their effectiveness. If anyone knows of other keylogger detector, blocker, removal software other than Anti-Keylogger 7.1, I would greatly appreciate relevant information and comments. Of particular interest would be a program that can deal with both hook and kernel based keyloggers -- it seems that most anti-keylogger software is only capable of dealing with hook based keyloggers.

Hya Barebear , welcome to PCHF.


If you have all those apps running realtime protection then you have way to much running. It is recommended to use one AV , one firewall and one anti spyware app at the same time to prevent confict problems. And these apps will also use alot of system resources.

One of each is enough to be protected good enough. You can safely use as much apps to scan with manually without problems ofcourse.


Have a look at these two:
