Description
The threat:
Keyloggers as means
of stealing information.
Information stealing exists since
early days of the
World Wide Web. Unfortunately, various kinds
of white-collar crime aimed at stealing valuable (in the direct
sense) information thrive in cyberspace. The scale of these crimes
varies from harvesting email addresses for spammers to identity
theft and espionage.
<br><br>
Since the
Internet has become a part of daily
life and business, rapid growth of cybercrime endangers the whole
society. Information-stealing software certainly facilitate these
crimes, sometimes being the only instrument a thief needs to commit
them.
<br><br>Real protection starts with identifying
the threat.
<br><br>
One of the most effective ways
of stealing information is capturing keystrokes. A small, fairly
simple program (a programmer can write a plain one in a couple of
days) captures everything the user is doing - keystrokes, mouse
clicks, files opened and closed, sites visited. A little more
sophisticated programs of this kind also capture text from windows
and make screenshots (record everything displayed on the screen) -
so the information is captured even if the user doesn't type
anything, just opens the views the file. These programs are called
Keylogging Programs (keyloggers, key loggers, keystroke loggers,
key recorders, key trappers, key capture programs, etc.) They form
the most dangerous core of so-called spyware.
<br><br>Old keyloggers become obsolete. New
keyloggers appear all the time. Existing keylogging programs are
constantly modernized. It is extremely likely that several
keyloggers are being written at this very moment.
Means of
defense: Anti-spyware, anti-viruses and personal firewalls
Experts recommend to use a combination of three products: a
personal firewall, an anti-virus and an anti-spyware - and
regularly update the latter two. However, even in this case a
computer won't be 100% secure against
keyloggers. Why?
<br><br>
Most
anti-spy and
anti-virus
products, whatever their names are and whatever their advertising
says, apply the same scheme - pattern matching. These programs scan
the system, looking for code that matches signatures - pieces of
spyware code, which are kept in so-called signature bases. These
products can protect from spyware which has already been detected
and studied before. This approach makes anti-spyware developers
inevitably lag behind spyware writers. Without frequent updating
anti-spy products lose their efficiency very quickly. It can become
very risky because the PC owner still relies on his anti-spy or
anti-virus.
<br><br>
Unfortunately, no signature
base is complete enough to guarantee total protection. Even if the
base is updated regularly, if this spyware signature is not
included there - the anti-spy software is helpless against it.
Anti-spies do not recognize every spyware product, when it is
brand-new, for some time - until its signature is included into the
bases and users update their anti-spies. There also are kinds of
spy software which signatures are unlikely to be included into any
signature base. For example, spy software can be developed by
government organizations for their own purposes. Some commercial,
especially corporate, monitoring products are very rarely included
into signature bases, though many of them can well be used for
spying as well.
<br><br>
Another case - when there
is only one copy of spy program. It doesn't take too long for a
good programmer to write one. Spyware, just like clothes, can be
"tailor-made". Hackers often take source codes of spy software from
the Internet change them a bit and then compile something new,
which no signature base will recognize.
<br><br>
When
a keylogging module is the part of a virus, it can cause lots of
trouble, because several hours or even days will pass until it is
included into signature bases.
<br><br>
A problem
with a
personal firewall is that it asks
too many questions. Even an experienced user can answer them
incorrectly and allow some information-stealing program or module
do its job. For example, some commercial monitoring programs use
processes of programs with access to the Internet (browsers, mail
clients, etc.) As a result, if the anti-virus overlooks a
keylogger, valuable information can be stolen and sent via the
Internet to the address specified by the hacker (or some other
person).
The solution: our DEDICATED PRODUCT AGAINST
KEYLOGGING 100% efficient and reliable
Anti-keylogger™ is a dedicated
anti-keylogging product. Unlike most other anti-spyware,
Anti-keylogger doesn't depend on signature bases - just because it
doesn't use them. The newly developed solutions and algorithms
allow it to spot behavior of a spy program - and disable it
instantly.
<br><br>
Anti-keylogger™
can protect against even "custom-made" software keyloggers, which
are extremely dangerous - and very popular with
cybercriminals.
<br><br>
Anti-keylogger™
is very user-friendly. It runs at the background, quite
transparently for the user. It won't ask you needless questions;
nor it will distract you from your
work.
<br><br>Easy-to-use and reliable,
Anti-keylogger™ will guard your
privacy and guarantee
that all your
confidential information remains
secret.
