Ok, There is my review of Spyshelter Premium 8 (SSP)
Home
Features
0- Installation
One interesting thing, is when you install it , it ask you if you want it start with high or normal security after the reboot.
SSP sit on my system between 20-30mb WS of RAM, i don't feel any visible slowdown.
1- Protection Tab
Spyshelter is an Anti-Keylooger and also an HIPS, here we can see the various protection modules, SSP, it share the common protection with other products but where it is innovative is the "Anti-sound module" that protect your system against VOIP sound Trojan loggers and other sound capture.
Note: the kernel module is only for x86 systems
2- Rules tab
Here is the place where the rules will be shown, you can allow/deny/check/add/edit/remove them ,you can also import/export some rules, clean old ones (from uninstalled programs) and check all component and details of them, i like the Virus Total integration, when a process is allowed/denied, you can upload the file to it.
3- Log tab
Here is shown all the decision made by SSP or by you, nothing very exceptional there.
4- Restricted Apps tab
Here is an interesting feature of SSP, it is in fact a kind of policy-based "Sandbox" (like OAP's Runsafer or Comodo's Auto-sandbox), with the addition of selecting which folder/file access will be allow/deny to be writed.
When an process is run restricted, its windows will got the "Restricted" tag (if selected in the settings)
unfortunately, Windows 8 is not fully supported.
5- Keystroke Encryption
This feature (available for x64 system only) will encrypt any of your keystrokes (a la "Keyscrambler") so even if a keylogger successfully leaks datas to the attacker , he will not be able to read them.
6- Settings tab
There are the settings options
a- General : here nothing special except the auto-clean option of the rules, quite convenient.
b- Security: here you can allow how SSp will react when confronted to a process, you can select one of the 4 options, "Allow Microsoft" is the less intrusive, "Ask" the most (means more popups)
c- Advanced: here you can increase the protection by terminating processes and their child
Use Hard Hook seems to be an option to enforce compatibility with other security apps.
d- List of Monitored Actions : here you can decide what actions SSP will react from. When a popup will appears the number of the action will be shown so you can know what happened.
FINAL NOTE
Spyshelter is in my opinion the best standalone anti-logger software, its multiple preventive module made it a top notch solutions for heavy online shopping/banking aficionados.
i rate it 4/5.
Hope you enjoyed the review
P.s: i will update this post when i will observe new things.
