Oh Them Loggers.....grrr

Post Reply New Topic

So, you know those little trojans they have to log your every precious word so they don't miss a thing? Insidious little perps aren't they? Well, would seem I have the big boys on my trail here. Would like to send them a big shout out and maybe I will through this post, since they'll no doubt be reading it...<hi guys!>

Ha. Would like to get them off my back. Ideas?

Install Comodo software. It's free for personal use, or 10,000 if you are a company. They are a world leader. Their money is elsewhere, so they offer the great tools for free. However, the Anti-virus is not compatible with Vista yet, but everything else is. You might want to try a combination of the anti-virus (windows XP/2000 only), the Anti-Malware, and the firewall. You can grab them here:

They work great and big business trusts them, so I do as well. If that doesn't work, then you can also try:

Good luck.

Trojans aren't key loggers. They may install one, if you run the Trojan. If you don't, you've got no problem.

Is comodo a virus? It gets increasingly difficult to sort out the extremely small number of genuine AV companies from the wealth of virus laden products. (Ratio was about 100 fake to 1 real, last I checked).

Some of the virus-providing one's look incredibly convincing and even (to an extent) detect (other) viruses.

[quote="lau"]Is comodo a virus? It gets increasingly difficult to sort out the extremely small number of genuine AV companies from the wealth of virus laden products. (Ratio was about 100 fake to 1 real, last I checked).quote] Comodo is the company. They are a world leader in Internet Security. They have free products to home users so they can have affordable home solutions that huge businesses get. Also, the free products help them in the long run, because you get use to the product and if you need to recomend to a boss what software to get, you will more likely recomend Comodo software and services. THey are a legit company. They truly want to help secure the Internet and make it so people don't get kyloggers and steal their info like bank account passwords and stuff. Comodo makes a lot of money selling SSL certificates and other big business stuff, so they do not need the home user market, they just open their corparate level software to the home user so the home user can be safe as well. They are really nice folks. You can talk to them on the Comodo Forums. They respond to bug reports in a timely manner and really listen to what people want. I like them.

Sorry for being long winded. I hope I answered your question.

I find it very dubious when, on a company's own website, a forum topic of "Is [Comodo's] Trusttoolbar Spyware?" is started by a company employee. Duh?

Looking at the AV-comparatives.org website, Comodo doesn't get a mention.

I've always been a fan of Grisoft's free AVG, but I suppose that I ought to switch over fully to Clam AntiVirus, as it's open source.

You could try Rootkit Revealer. It's not designed to detect keystroke loggers per se, but will find any programs which act like malware/trojans in particular ways. I haven't used any of the versions of it that were produced after Microsoft took over the outfit that created it, but unless they've screwed it up horribly, it should still be quite good, and free.
