Can you explain little bit more how the antikeylogger protects you from others to read your password keystrokes.

At first what is keylogger? A keylogger (also referred as keystroke monitoring software, keystroke-logging programs, activity monitoring programs, keystroke recorders, snoopware, or simply spyware) is a little hidden program recording data (such as keystrokes) to a local or remote file (log file).  Keyloggers can be enveloped in a Trojan or virus, and be transmitted via email. More advanced keyloggers will then email the recorded key logs silently - the user will never know
it is being done!

So, keystroke-monitoring is the core activity of any spy software. Without this ability, any spyware would be absolutely useless.

"Advanced Anti Keylogger" simply prohibits/blocks operation of the most dangerous feature of any spy software -- recording of a computer user's keystrokes. So it works like usual firewall software.

This program sucks. I have Service Pack 2 installed and after installing  Advanced Anti-keylogger, Windows stopped working. I ended up loosing everything from my hard-drive and formatting the drive !!! Once you install it and reboot your system ...that's it !!! Kaput !!!
These guys better do their job and fix the bugs in it.
Very dissapointed  >:(

Old Advanced Anti Keylogger version stopped to work with SP2 because Microsoft made some essential changes of system operation. Latest 3.4.2 version of our program is adapted now to work with Windows XP Service Pack 2. So simply reinstall latest version of Advanced Anti Keylogger  to resolve problem connected with SP2.

By the way please be aware that Windows operation system has "Safe Mode" - it's excellent way to resolve any software problems without complete system reinstall.

Well, the question of how it works was not answered, was it? By saying that it blocks key logging does not mean anything, as that is the result.

I want to have an understanding of how it works before I commit. The description of the product sound like snake oil, it's black magic, it works against all current spyware ever existed, known or unknown, and it works against any future spyware to be developed.

Mind explaining how that works internally before we can commit to it? I run a high-end coffee shop, and have 20 terminals which allow our customers to get online at our shop. And we are looking to expand the operation, and we need our kinds of anti-keylogger, anti-spyware, anti-screen capture, anti-bunch-of-other-things.

Unfortunately we can't and won't describe full internal algorithm of Advanced Anti Keylogger because it's our confidential data. If you don't trust our experience you can easily verify that Advanced Anti Keylogger is functioning properly. There are a lot of keyloggers available for you to download for testing purposes (both trial and completely free versions). You can install any of them to verify that Advanced Anti Keylogger is protecting your computer. Most popular keyloggers are available here:

O.k. what's the deal??  If I pay for your highly priced software, is it a one time fee, or do I have to keep paying everytime a new version comes out.   I paid appoximately $150 the last time and now it is totally useless since that version is no longer compatible with windows updates.  My system crashed big time once I updated and rebooted.

There's a keylogger called 'Sysytem Spy' which can can run in stealth and doesn't appear in the task list on WindowsXP. Can Advanced Anti keylogger prevent this from running?

Sorry, I mean  'System Spy'  ::)

Yes absolutely. Advanced Anti Keylogger will block ability of this keylogger to record your keyboard activity.

Hi!  I need help.

I have two contrary needs for my laptop:

First - to block keylogging programs, which I have found installed on my system by an estranged husband.  Despite the "I-Spy" act recently signed into law, I do not expect my estranged husband to stop his stalking behavior.  Sorry - this isn't anti-man, it's just true.

Second - to retain capability for remote tech support representatives to diagnose and fix problems on a large and cumbersome LOS (Loan Origination System) using a Webex interface.  (I have the software installed, I sign onto a session where they are resident, they take control of keystrokes and do whatever is needed in order to fix whatever).

Will your program enable both objectives?

Also - are there any third party tech reviews of your product?  It has great press, but so did Spybot, and Spybot did not prevent the last two incursions of keylogger programs.

Thank you very much. : :D

Yes, Advanced Anti Keylogger will enable both objectives. You just have to set up corresponding rules for each program namely to allow operation of your Loan Origination System and prohibit husband keylogging program.
