Zemana says that WSA is already protecting explorer.exe, so it will not. Does that mean that WSA is encrypting keystrokes as part of their identity protection?
If not, can I use Zemana for keystroke encryption? Does it have to start with Windows to work properly for said encryption?

Just out of curiosity, I want to ask you you something..... Is there any need of protecting the explorer.exe by a antilogger software ??? That's the job of the antivirus product. Moreover, I don't remember typing anything of any importance into the explorer window.

I don't know if its a dumb question. If it really is, then enlighten me.

I know it blocks keyloggers and screengrabbers.I don't know if it encrypts your keystrokes.Many Security Suites do though and there would be no need for Zemana

There's no harm in keeping it.
No there is no harm in keeping it but If you don't really need it because you are protected using another software there is no reason to really use it.

dump the antilogger.Norton will have that covered.Also question your own browsing habits.
I agree NIS will accomplish the same thing as Zemana.If you feel more comfortable with it and it causes no conflict or system impact then by all means use it.

Thanx for the replies.... As far as my browsing habits go, I never visit any suspicious website. Moreover I don't support piracy. I stick to giveaways and freewares. Sometimes I do buy the needed softwares. So I guess I don't need the antilogger. But I'll go with exterminator. Since it makes no impact on my system, I'll keep it.

WSA will harden your browser against exploits and other browsers infections, nothing is encrypted; Zemana said that WSA is enough because WSA has antiloggers components making other antiloggers unnecessary
