Keyloggers have
been a major problem today as it does not require any prior knowledge of
computers to use it. So hackers mainly use keyloggers to steal your
passwords, credit card numbers and other confidential data. Below are
some methods through which you can protect your computer from
keyloggers:Use a Good Antivirus
This is the first and basic step that
you need to take in order to protect your computer from keyloggers. Use a
Good antivirus such as Kaspersky, Norton or Mcafee and update it
regularly.
Use a Good Antispyware
Since keyloggers are basically spywares,
if you are a frequent user of Internet then you could be exposed to
thousands of keyloggers and spywares. So you should use a good
antispyware such as NoAdware.
Antilogger can be Handy
Antiloggers are programs that detect the
presence of keyloggers on a given computer. Over past few years, I have
tested a lot of anti-logging programs and have found Zemana Antilogger as
the best antilogger.
Zemana
Normally a keylogger can be easily
detected by a Good Antivirus program, but hackers use some methods such
as hexing, binding, crypting and similar techniques to make it harder to
be detected by antivirus programs. In this case Zemana Antilogger comes
handy as the program is specially developed to protect your system
against harmful keyloggers.
Online Scanning
When ever you receive a suspicious
file, you scan it with online scanners such as Multi engine
antivirus scanner which scans your file with 24 antivirus
engines and reports it back to you if the file is recognized as a virus
or spyware. This ensures that none of the malicious programs can escape
from being detected as there are 24 different antivirus engines
are involved in the scanning process.
Sandboxie
Sandboxie is
another great program to help you protect your computer against harmful
keyloggers and spywares. Sandboxie runs your computer in an isolated
space which prevents your program from making permanent changes to other
programs in your computer.
When ever you receive a file that looks
suspicious, just run the program with Sandboxie so even if it is a
keylogger or any other virus it will not make permanent changes to your
computer system.
To run a program in Sandboxie follow the steps as mentioned below:
1. Open sandboxie and click on sandbox menu on the top
2. Now goto Default sandbox
3. Then click on run any program
4. Now select the file you wish to run in sandboxie and click open
Keyscrambler
Keyscrambler is
one of the best protection against keyloggers that you can have,
Keyscrambler is a small program which encrypts your typed keystrokes so
even if the victim has installed a keylogger on your system, he or she
will get encrypted keys. Keyscrambler currently supports Firefox,
Internet explorer and other applications, however its premium version
supports more than 160 applications.
