Title: An issue that should be addressed
Post by TWTP on Nov 21st, 2006, 9:10pm
I just downloaded a key-logging program called All In One Keylogger in order to test your program. Let me say, firstly, that your program works like a charm. It definitely prevents screen capturing and the logging of keystrokes.

The problem - and it's potentially a huge problem - is that the key-logging program I used had an option (a box to tick) to shut down all anti-spyware programs while it was running. Upon checking this box, AAK promptly shut down, and the program was thenceforth able to log keystrokes and take screen captures to its heart's content.

As far as I'm concerned, as long as AAK allows spy programs to shut it down, it's therefore pretty useless. I would suggest a fix for this problem in a future edition of AAK.

Thanks for letting me try out your software, which is great otherwise.

Having said that, though, in a way it's still useful. Because if you see your AAK logo suddenly disappear from your task bar, it's safe to say you have just had a keylogger installed, and you can stop what you've been doing and endeavor to get rid of it. In other words, it works as a kind of primitive early warning system.  ;)

See, there's an upside to everything.  ;D

Can you please specify link to this "All In One Keylogger" so we will be able to examine it in detail?

Thank you very much for feedback.

We have tested "All in One Keylogger" with AAK. Actually keylogger "shut down all anti-spyware" option does not effect to protective functionality of our AAK. In fact this option only closes GUI (Graphical User Interface) of AAK but main AAK engine still works as need (i.e. during our tests this keylogger was not able to log any keystrokes even while AAK GUI was closed).

We will fix this minor error in the new AAK version.
