Anti-keylogger — анти-шпионская утилита для операционных систем Windows2000/XP, которая предназначена для защиты рабочих станций от keylogger´ов (программ, которые работаю в скрытом режими и записывают все нажатые клавиши, а, соответственно, предоставляют взломщикам возможность узнать ваши пароли и другую важную информацию. Так как Anti-keylogger не использует базу сигнатур, то она может успешно бороться даже с пока еще неизвестными типами шпионского ПО. Имеется поддержка русского языка.

Anti-keylogger™ is a dedicated anti-keylogging product. Unlike most other anti-spyware, Anti-keylogger doesn't depend on signature bases - just because it doesn't use them. The newly developed solutions and algorithms allow it to spot behavior of a spy program - and disable it instantly.
Anti-keylogger™ can protect against even "custom-made" software keyloggers, which are extremely dangerous - and very popular with cybercriminals.
Anti-keylogger™ is very user-friendly. It runs at the background, quite transparently for the user. It won't ask you needless questions; nor it will distract you from your work.
Easy-to-use and reliable, Anti-keylogger™will guard your privacy and guarantee that all your confidential information remains secret.
The threat: Keyloggers as means of stealing information.
Information stealing exists since early days of the World Wide Web. Unfortunately, various kinds of white-collar crime aimed at stealing valuable (in the direct sense) information thrive in cyberspace. The scale of these crimes varies from harvesting email addresses for spammers to identity theft and espionage.
Since the Internet has become a part of daily life and business, rapid growth of cybercrime endangers the whole society. Information-stealing software certainly facilitate these crimes, sometimes being the only instrument a thief needs to commit them.
Real protection starts with identifying the threat.
One of the most effective ways of stealing information is capturing keystrokes. A small, fairly simple program (a programmer can write a plain one in a couple of days) captures everything the user is doing - keystrokes, mouse clicks, files opened and closed, sites visited. A little more sophisticated programs of this kind also capture text from windows and make screenshots (record everything displayed on the screen) - so the information is captured even if the user doesn't type anything, just opens the views the file. These programs are called Keylogging Programs (keyloggers, key loggers, keystroke loggers, key recorders, key trappers, key capture programs, etc.) They form the most dangerous core of so-called spyware.
Old keyloggers become obsolete. New keyloggers appear all the time. Existing keylogging programs are constantly modernized. It is extremely likely that several keyloggers are being written at this very moment.
Means of defense: Anti-spyware, anti-viruses and personal firewalls
Experts recommend to use a combination of three products: a personal firewall, an anti-virus and an anti-spyware - and regularly update the latter two. However, even in this case a computer won't be 100% secure against keyloggers. Why?
Most anti-spy and anti-virus products, whatever their names are and whatever their advertising says, apply the same scheme - pattern matching. These programs scan the system, looking for code that matches signatures - pieces of spyware code, which are kept in so-called signature bases. These products can protect from spyware which has already been detected and studied before. This approach makes anti-spyware developers inevitably lag behind spyware writers. Without frequent updating anti-spy products lose their efficiency very quickly. It can become very risky because the PC owner still relies on his anti-spy or anti-virus.
Unfortunately, no signature base is complete enough to guarantee total protection. Even if the base is updated regularly, if this spyware signature is not included there - the anti-spy software is helpless against it. Anti-spies do not recognize every spyware product, when it is brand-new, for some time - until its signature is included into the bases and users update their anti-spies. There also are kinds of spy software which signatures are unlikely to be included into any signature base. For example, spy software can be developed by government organizations for their own purposes. Some commercial, especially corporate, monitoring products are very rarely included into signature bases, though many of them can well be used for spying as well.
Another case - when there is only one copy of spy program. It doesn't take too long for a good programmer to write one. Spyware, just like clothes, can be "tailor-made". Hackers often take source codes of spy software from the Internet change them a bit and then compile something new, which no signature base will recognize.
When a keylogging module is the part of a virus, it can cause lots of trouble, because several hours or even days will pass until it is included into signature bases.
A problem with a personal firewall is that it asks too many questions. Even an experienced user can answer them incorrectly and allow some information-stealing program or module do its job. For example, some commercial monitoring programs use processes of programs with access to the Internet (browsers, mail clients, etc.) As a result, if the anti-virus overlooks a keylogger, valuable information can be stolen and sent via the Internet to the address specified by the hacker (or some other person).

Everyone knows you need antivirus software to combat known threats, but what about those viruses that sneak under the radar before code is written to counteract them? AVG Anti-Virus System spots programs that behave like viruses, locks them up, and puts them in isolation--even if no one's issued an all-points bulletin and corrective code.

Internet Explorer has a nasty habit of allowing so-called Browser Helper Objects (or BHOs) to install themselves into IE. Some BHOs are helpful, like the Google Toolbar, but others (especially those planted by viruses or spyware) can be malicious and harmful.
What is a Browser Helper Object? A Browser Helper Object, or BHO, is just a small program that runs automatically every time you start your Internet browser. Usually, a BHO is installed on your system by another software program. For example, Go!Zilla, the downloading utility, installs a BHO created by Radiate (formerly Aureate Media); this BHO tracks which advertisements you see as you surf the Web.
The natural question is, what do BHOs do? The technical answer is anything, but generally, it will have something to do with helping you browse the Internet. Of course, some BHOs are what is called ad-ware or spyware: they do things like monitor the websites you visit and report this data back to their creators.
Although many people are extremely concerned about them because of the privacy issue, BHOs are not necessarily bad things, and most of them are well-intentioned and beneficial. For example, the P3P (Platform for Privacy Preferences) program spearheaded by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) and major vendors, including Microsoft, AT&T, and IBM, will be delivered as a BHO. Some BHOs, however, are placed secretly on your system, and there is certainly no technical reason why they could not be programmed to send information about your system (or your web surfing habits) over the Internet without your knowledge.
Also, there is no restriction on what a BHO can do your system; it can do anything any other program can do: read or write (or delete) anything on your system. Usually, software is installed on your system explicitly by you; when you do so, you are, in effect, saying that you trust the vendor. BHOs, however, have a history of being installed without the users knowledge (fine print notwithstanding)
Given that (a) BHOs can do absolutely anything to your system, and (b) they are often installed without your knowledge, there is a distinct potential for abuse by vendors. The problem is, until now you had no way of knowing which BHOs are on your machine, who put them there, and what they do. This is what BHODemon does - it lets you easily manage your BHOs, and tells you what each BHO on your system is doing.
