[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 595286, member: 7463"] My pleasure, reboot! Solar- In order for a keylogger to work, no matter what the vector, it MUST do two things- it must have a presence on your system to log information, and it also must have some mechanism to send this logged info out to the Blackhats where it can be exploited. The latter part is where the Firewall component of Comodo comes into play (and also one reason why I'm not fond of CCAV). So CF actually can stop keyloggers by a number of mechanisms- possibly by detection by the cloud AV, by preventing the action of some by plopping them in the Sandbox, or finally by preventing the transmission of data by denying access to the network. And for those that just HAVE to have a HIPS enabled, that would be another roadblock for the keylogger. But even for those that don't want to use Comodo, they should at the least have an Outbound alerting firewall in order to have a chance against zero day forms of this malware. Windows Firewall IS NOT good enough- and DON'T let anyone tell you it is! [/QUOTE]
