[QUOTE="hjlbx, post: 446063"] Users are always in a quandry when it comes to security softs. A conundrum... Fileless MitB are proliferating. Browser session keylogging among easiest to accomplish. Sandbox does contain any potential payload, but does not prevent the keystroke recording in all cases (it does protect clipboard capture). HIPS Paranoid Mode does alert to it, but alert might indicate all files are safe since this type infection uses rundll32.exe, dllhost.exe, etc. Who uses Paranoid Mode ? System unusable... 100s of alerts per user session. Useful only when trying to track-down suspected infection... Need "infected" site to host the attack. User has to spend time at the site. Site has to be designed to engage\entrap user into typing valuable infos. Infection\keylogging is not persistent. So, all in all, not very productive for malware authors. Almost flaky "vector," but design the site correctly and it could be really dangerous. Anyhow, eventually, it will get reported and blocked by web-filter. Well, with Comodo web protections, one hopes so... There is more\additional anti-keylogging protections in Comodo, but Comodo quite secretive about it. Comodo engineering will not divulge even basic technical infos. [USER=178]@Umbra[/USER] would say Comodo uses CCE against annoying user questions they can't answer. (Inside joke). [/QUOTE]
