This is a problem that actually pre-existed on Zemana's free antiLogger - when they discontinued the free version recently, I thought I'd give the premium version a trial, but I guess that same errant code found its way into the paid version.

The symptoms are as described above: Every keystroke is encrypted as you would expect on on browsers, and win desktop applications. But the minute you start working in a Metro App (Edge, Windows Mail etc) the keystrokes are logged again.

This is obviously a problem for a premium product that claims to "camouflage" keystrokes to protect against id theft etc.

I've raised the issue with Zemana, who've passed it on to their dev team, though they may take a while so any help would be much appreciated.

What is loging the keystrokes though? Unless you are infected there should be nothing logging anything.

So it's been a while....If any Zemana AL users could verify that Metro (Universal) Apps on Win 10 are definitely not being key logged, I'd be v grateful. I can then assume it's a localised problem. Developers yet to get back to me.
