Thank you all for helping. I have lic to all of them but some of them are expiring...also can I stack antikeyloggers etc....HitmanPro Alert and Webroot?
For Keylogging protection what would you choose?

I personally don't see the need for anti-keyloggers. It's for the paranoid, best tip is to prevent it in the first place. Malware creators know that most people use popular antivirus/anti-keyloggers so it's their job to create sophisticated malware to bypass it. It's like everybody using the same door lock, they only need to learn how to pick one lock. Webroot and a good firewall is sufficient imo. You can also use a password manager like LastPass since keyloggers can't intercept what isn't being typed, LastPass automatically fills your passwords in for your favourite websites.

I want to type Zemana with every part of my being, but that part of the software is not functioning properly at this point in the "Beta"
so I can't, I am not knocking it, just being honest.
I have found HMPA to be a suitable solution in my case. 25bucks a year is cheap for me.
But I see you want strictly a Key logger that does not interfere with other apps and HMPA is not just a keylogger, it is also for: Safe Browsing,
Exploit Mitigation, Risk Reduction, and scanning, so it will "Interfere with other software" in order to keep your system safe.
I am not familiar with good products that have the rep HMPA does that are only Anti-KeyLoggers that work efficiently on Windows 10 at least on x64 bit systems.
Maybe someone will provide us an eyeopener here.

Instead of an anti-keylogger he can install a secure banking browser like Avast SafeZone that protects from keyloggers as well.I want to type Zemana with every part of my being, but that part of the software is not functioning properly at this point in the "Beta"

@xCharbz
Avast's banking browser is a standalone /or will he have to install a security suite to get it ?

It's bundled with Avast! Free, not sure if you can get it as a standalone product. Just like anything in life, there will always be alternatives.

Hey, no worries buddy I asked because he states up there the ones he wants to compare : Webroot Secure or Zemana Anti Keylog or Spyshelter or HitmanPro Alert :
If Avast made a secure browser as a standalone I would give it a go in a heartbeat
How effective are key scramblers like KeyScrambler, etc...?

In a heartbeat would say Zemana although I haven't had an infection in forever my friends report positively on the product as well.
No one needs an anti-keylogger. What is needed is signature-less physical system protection that prevents the keylogger from being installed and persisting on system in the first place.
Few people understand that anti-keyloggers only protect the user data once a keylogger has already been installed on the system (in the presence of a keylogger = an infected system) - this is the premise of Webroot Identity Shield, KeyScrambler, Zemana Anti-Logger, SpyShelter products, HitmanPro.Alert, COMODO sandbox\Virtual Desktop, BitDefender Safe Pay, Kaspersky Safe Money, ESET Banking Protection, etc, etc, etc.
Anti-loggers are notoriously ineffective against certain loggers - like webpage embedded javascript loggers or phishing webpages (a specific type of "logger" - but it is really a credential\info stealer).
So what is the solution ?
If your system protection prevents a keylogger from installing on the system in the first place and doesn't allow it to persist, then anti-logger is not needed.
Most important (really only need one):

- Software Restriction Policy software: AppGuard, AppLocker, Group Policy, Bouncer (Excubits), Simple Software Restriction Policy (iwrconsultancy)
- Anti-executable software: NoVirusThanks Exe Radar Pro, Voodoo Shield, WinAntiRansom, Faronics Anti-Executable, SecureAPlus
- HIPS software: ReHIPS, COMODO, ESET, SpyShelter
- Light Virtualization: Virtual Machine, Sandboxie, Shadow Defender, ToolWiz Time Freeze, Shade Sandbox, COMODO (NOTE: Sandboxie & COMODO are both a virtualization and a SRP soft)
- Snapshot software: Rollback Rx Professional\Home, Drive Vaccine Rx, Reboot Restore Rx
- Rapid Image Restore software: Macrium Reflect (w\Rapid Delta Restore), AX64 Time Machine\FlashBack
- Default-Deny firewall = a just-in-case-last-line-of-defense = TinyWall
- This can also be achieved in Sandboxie and COMODO

If you are using Avast, they have a banking mode as well that has anti-keylogger components and a pretty secure browser. However it is limited to the banking mode and not system wide, also you are forced to use their pre-configured browser in the sandbox which limits usability.
I agree with what @hjlbx said. If your system is secure enough, there is no need of an anti-logger , because it shouldn't has any keylogger in the first place.

The problem nowdays is an anti-keylogger contains already the redudant features like HIPS.
So the actual encryption mechanism is lessen and ineffective. The suggestions already at the table and using it will turn for discretion advice.

ZAL does the trick for me, i feel quite confidant about that.

Dang it FrOg ok i go put it back, oh wise Frog
ok i go put it back, oh wise FrogI would choose one...
ReHIPS with VS and WAR is duplication.
HMP.A is a multi-faceted security soft; it is primarily an anti-exploit; the other protections are secondary - but I would suspect the developers might think otherwise.
ReHIPS + HMP.A would be my choice.
oh guess what? it is what im using
p.s: Damn support of Appguard , still not answered my email...

I did not have ReHIPS installed while running HMPA look on my config page. I know the redundancy.
I am running Voodoo, WAR as my primary & now Zemana 2.21 as my "On Demand"
