Syshardener+OSAmor+Bitdefender Total Security

 

[Local Host]

this is done already
however i am thinking about methods such as this type of malware could infect the PC

For keyloggers a Firewall is enough.

Syshardener+OSAmor+Bitdefender Total Security

This like security overdose and my laptop would be dead and not usable anymore

 

[Digmor Crusher]

Maybe a tad overkill but I don't think heavy, OSArmour and Syshardener are very light.

But with bifdefender it would be heavy

Keylogger may not abuse legit application process to bypass windows firewall rules ??

yes
firewall will not protect in such a case as it will grant outbound to the "trusted" process

 

[Local Host]

Of course it can, but there's easier ways like tunneling.

 

[DDE_Server]

Of course it can, but there's easier ways like tunneling.

So firewall is not optimum solution although it may prevent the data breach but will not detect the infection occured
Has keyloggers has some symptoms which may trigger certain AV module ?? And if which part ??

You can detect them through Windows Defender ATP, and AV isn't supposed to let it run in first place.

Keylogger needs elevated privileges or a known exploit to remain undetected, unless we talking Linux due to the fact everyone believes they don't need AV, nor they pack firewall by default, you can code one in seconds for it (with no need for elevated privileges), already done this multiple times in the past for science reasons.

 

[Zorro]

i am really think to use your combo is it light ?? have you faced any conflict problems ??

For you, Kaspersky Anti-Virus Free (or security cloud free) + SpyShelter Free. This will be quite enough for you. If you want syshardener apply. Optional.

none of what you posted here is correct
there are ample cases where keylogging is done in ways that AV does not detect, powershell or wmic is a good place to start
no administrative permissions needed on Windows
no exploit required

I used Ghostpress a while. It seems reasonably good. And free. Now I use Webroots ID shield. One of Webroots stronger modules.

Hmm...it 's repeted in some other places...int this forum also...that detection of some logger actions...not only key-logger...means that our defence is bypassed and next...in consequences...our plan/idea of builded security is invalid. I assume that such opinion is based on detection offered by AV/IS apps and its all featured that working on every possible black/block lists and signatures of AV engines...and that's why can't agree with it. AV is not the beginning and the end of security that we can have and there are a lot of others technolgies that can give us much more...that are a bit further from common apps but still can protect without bad effects.

Thinking about it, It is often stated that no antivirus can detect 100% of all malware. So, to compliment those that lack such features with anti-keyloggers sounds like a logical thing to do.

 

[Zartarra]

At the moment I use Sophos Home Premium with the "Protect against Keyloggers" enabled.

Tested Ghostpress a while ago. It was also not bad.

 

[Ludvig Y]

I see lots of keylogger available on the Internet. Though I don't know much about it. Interested in them.
