What anti-keyloggers are exactly for!
« on: Dec 22nd, 2006, 10:05am »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
I just installed AAK, though I got Norton antiviurs and another anti spyware. For me, I care not what program reads my key strokes, since most of them must do, but what really matters is either:
- whether these are being sent out directly by the subject program (eg. Word), which you can easily prevent by controlling your PFW.
- Or that any of these communicate my key strokes/screen shots to another spy program which can send them over to an attacker in stealth.
 
I'd much appreciate serious responses to this. I don't want to be asked every time I open a program. I want to make sure that my keystrokes and screen views are not misused. I am not an expert with this, but what does it mean when I say 'YES' to Word to accept my keystrokes and I say 'NO' to my firewall when it asks same.
 
The issue is the catching any malware that attempts to store and transmit these in STEALTH.

Our main goal during AAK development was to simplify program use as possible. By default AAK is installing to the "High Security Mode" where no user intervention is required. That is mode where all attempts of any applications to monitor users keystrokes activity are blocked.
 
But there are some cases where "Custom Security Mode" is required. Most of such cases are: applications usability (hot-keys operation, programs activity/inactivity detection and so on) and applications conflict resolving (AAK compatibility with other security software like anti-virus, firewall and so on). That is why "Custom Security Mode" was developed.
 
So if you install AAK by default in Hihg Security Mode and no any problems with your other installed applications -> no intervention is required.
