You have your anti-malware, anti-rootkit and firewall programs installed. But do you know that there is still a weak point, a very weak point that can be exploited to compromise your username and passwords? Zemana AntiLogger will be the solution to this vulnerability.

Introduction

You have all your security programs installed and up to date, as your operating system is. Then you type a website address on your browser and enter your credentials to log in. The website is protected with 128-bit SSL encryption, its address begins with https and everything seems secure so far. Is it?

No it is not. Definitely. The SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption works when you press the 'log on' or 'submit' button to send your username and password to the website. Meaning that, until you enter your username and password, nothing is safe. It is the weakest point in all the security chain: the time you begin to type your passwords. There are many malware in the wild that is trying to find a computer to settle, just to send whatever is typed to its boss. They are called keyloggers.

Zemana Antilogger Intrusion (Keylogging)You may, of course think that your anti-malware program should detect such a keylogger and your firewall should detect such an outgoing activity. I will not disclose the details, but I personally compromised one of my web accounts with a similar attack a few days ago.

This is where Zemana Antilogger comes to the scene, with its most important part; the SSL protection. In 2008, 80% of the malware applications targeted online financial transactions (shopping, banking etc..) The recent attacks focus on the point before the data entered in the webform is encrypted. Zemana Antilogger intercepts at this point and blocks the applications which try to record data before the encryption takes place. This is a patented approach and only present in Zemana's Zemana Antilogger. There is no program similar in the world that come with such a security idea.

This is not all. Zemana Antilogger blocks all the logger activity and makes it safe for you to type with your keyboard. It also safeguards the data in clipboard (which some malware is interested in - you can not imagine how many users copy->paste their passwords to web forms), safeguards your screen (some types of malware takes screenshots from your computer and sends it to its 'boss') and it safeguards your camera (recently the attacks to take control of cameras connected to the computer is increasing. Imagine that you are changing your clothes after you come home from work, your computer is open and your camera is compromised.) With Zemana Antilogger's protection agains these threats, you will be really safe.

How Does It Work?

Zemana Antilogger is not solely an antivirus nor an antimalware. Instead, with very strong reactions, it assures security by proactive methods, which watches the malicious processes in real time by their known or predicted actions. If you are infected with some kind of a trojan, virus or keylogger, Zemana Antilogger takes immediate reaction when they try to act and block them. The key point here is that, it is not an antivirus nor an antimalware program per se. It builds its foundation on top of the usual anti-malware applications by providing additional level of security. And this security is important. It is the first of its kind.
