The worst of scumware, undoubtedly, are loggers. Whether it is a keylogger, or a different type of logger, these scumware have the potential to turn your world upside down by transmitting private information – such as credit card numbers, bank account information, social security number, etc. – to malicious people who will, without a second thought, use your information to their advantage. To help fight some of this, I have discussed KeyScrambler before, a software that is effectively an anti-keylogger. Zemana AntiLogger is a security software which takes that anti-keylogger aspect of KeyScrambler and expands on it by adding in various different anti-logging features to protect users from not only keyloggers, but many other different type of “logging “scumware.
Here is a detailed list of what Zemana AntiLogger can do, as per the developer:
While I can’t personally vouch for Zemana AntiLogger’s performance (because I have not used it long enough to say how good or bad it is), on paper Zemana AntiLogger looks very impressive. Furthermore, another noteworthy aspect of Zemana AntiLogger is its ability to work side-by-side with other security software. The developer has compiled a list of security software Zemana AntiLogger is “compatible” with:
As you can see, according to the developer, Zemana AntiLogger works with most popular security software.
Usually Zemana AntiLogger would cost $34 (USD) per year. However, for a limited time – until January 31, 2010 12:00 PM EST – users can get 1 year of Zemana AntiLogger for free!

Thanks Ozzie!
Thank you Ashraf this looks like a keeper!
So it looks like Ozzie is the king of freebies, not Giovanni anymore.
Wow this looks great!
However I seek a few clarifications regarding which genres of key logging protection is offered by this software. Does it protect against the following problems?
1) If an app reads its own window?
2) If an app reads a window which the app does not own?
3) Does it protect against keyboard hooks?
4) Does it protect against keyboard filter drivers?
Does it provide the following features?
1) It tells you which app & which file for that app (exe etc, & its filepath) is doing the mischief? It allows you to pinpointedly block that
2) It allows you to restrict that app totally, partially or not at all? e.g. you can permit it to read its own window but not unowned windows and/or hook your keyboard
3) It allows you to reset permissions fully or partially for that app?
I say this because it is not a blanket rule that keylogging should always only be fully disabled. Sometimes disabling a keylogger also disables all hotkeys for that app. Does this app allow you to disable key logging without disabling its hotkeys?
Likewise can one disable screen read without disabling its the menu effects of that app(another unintended consequence!)? Depends upon how the app is coded.
Ramesh
good questions Ramesh
thanks for your contribution
Has someone else tried it, perhaps in the past?
I got terrible problems with keyscrambler (described on that page here in dottech) and looking for an alternative. I had found that freebie in Raymond from 25 Jan but haven’t found in depth reviews or experiences…
It didn’t seem to like running on my system. XP pro, sp3.
I’ve got a bunch of stuff on it and don’t know where the problem came from, but programs weren’t running right.
Uninstalled.
It does look like it’d be a good program tho if it’ll run ok.
Hi! Everyone 013010
As of 8:15am est Zemana is on the prowl on our system.
Obtaining key, downloading file, and installation, went without a hitch.
For Wheezer, I also have XpPro Sp3, AVG9 so we’ll see…..;)
Started program:
Updated key…………Okay, good to 30/1/2011
Searched for updates…Already up to date
Has already asked for permissions, and granted for
Open Office clipboard, and clean mem.
Will have to inform DW on procedures.
I don’t know if this is “legal” or not, but you can refresh the registration page to get multiple license keys so you can get updates for the software forever.
I cannot find any uninstaller, can anyone help?
THANKS
Yes I have installed and registered Zemana Antikeylogger but when the protection mode is on it doesn’t allow some applications to run,you to first disable it then execute it.
hi,
i use this software since one year and i find it pretty good ; light on ressource and it do the job properly.
thank you once again for another great soft.

@garyu203: I have one listed at:
>Start >All Programs >Antiloger >Uninstall Antiloger
Also…….>Control Panel >Add or Remove Programs
If you want to be really sure use Revouninstaller
This may be a “why is the sky blue” kind of question, but I continue to wonder: Why, at this stage of the game, are there seemingly high-end software products that don’t support 64-bit?
Hi,wona ask why download size of Zemana Antikeylogger from this site is 6.7MB and from their site is 4MB.
Looks like a good program. Just downloaded it and will install shortly. Thanks! :)
@Denzel
That 4MB shown on the Zemana website is either a misprint or was the size of a compressed version. If you click on the download button for your language, the download size is shown as 6.67MB.
@garyu203:
Try Revo Uninstaller, which is simple to use and very effective:

Hey Ashraf!!
I used this program a few months ago after getting it for free as GAOTD and I was very impressed by its overall performance.
It can detect ALL keylogging (yes ALL means ALL), webcam capture and screenshot capture methods from different trojans (Bifrost, Poison Ivy, The sHark, SpyNet, Bandook, Nuclear RAT) and frankly I think that just the shareware award-winning and very expensive indeed (120 $…LOL!) anti keylogger program called “PrivacyKeyboard” can beat it.
So I highly recommend it!!
However I was wondering whether or not it’s worth get rid of KEY SCRAMBLER that is currently installed on my PC.
Maybe, given the low RAM quantity running on my old HOME PC right now, I’d better keep KEY SCRAMBLER rather than using this freebie….what do you make of it Ashraf??
After all KEY SCRAMBLER is very effective too as tool to keep us safe from KeyLoggers, isn’t it??
How many resources does this version of ZEMANA ANTILOGGER eat in terms of RAM and CPU usage??
Finally, other FREE TOOLS, besides KEYSCRAMBLER, capable of beating KEYLOGGERS so as to protect our identity against this kind of cyberthreat, can be found here:
http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2007/09/20/how-to-beat-keyloggers-to-protect-your-identity/
Were you aware of them, Ashraf??
Eh,eh,eh…your friend RAYMOND ne sa una più del diavolo…opss sorry has more than one trick up his sleeve….LOL!!
Enjoy!!
@ Jeffinprov…I found this on the Zemana AntiLogger Support Site:
http://www.zemana.com/TFaq.aspx
Q: Why don’t you offer a product for 64-bit Windows?
A: AntiLogger is not available for Windows x64 (64-bit) operating systems.
Microsoft extended the core of the operating system kernel in the x64 editions of Windows with KPP (Kernel Patch Protection – informally known as PatchGuard) in such a way that self-checks are routinely performed to detect tampering.
The proactive protection provided by AntiLogger is not supported by the Windows x64 kernel. AntiLogger must make changes to the kernel to implement proactive protection. These changes are detected by PatchGuard as tampering, so the system will crash soon after AntiLogger is installed.
If Microsoft ever removes PatchGuard from their x64 systems or provide some useful SDK available to security vendors, we’ll provide a 64-bit edition of AntiLogger.
Hope that helps. :)
Hey Ashraf!!
I have another question both for you and your redears: do you know if I can apply the LICENSE KEY after the deadline and then install ZEMANA ANTILOGGER on another PC afterwards??
@Giovanni (King of Freebies after Ozzie…LOL!!): No you must activate it by the end date.
@Ashraf: My gender would make me queen, so perhaps I can reign alongside King Giovanni. :)ds
@Ozzie: Wanna know the truth? I was, literally, just think about that LOL!
@Ashraf: Hee hee!
thank you ashraf
When I go to the registration page, the key box is empty??? What am I doing wrong?
