CNET Editors' review
You've secured your PC against viruses and malware, installed strong firewalls, and otherwise done what you can to protect your data and your privacy. What about keystroke logging, aka keylogging? That's where hackers surreptitiously record every keystroke you make. Passwords, usernames, credit card numbers, security codes, and private conversations are all vulnerable to keylogging. Help is available in the form of anti-keylogging tools like Zemana's AntiLogger, which is now offered as an easy-to-use freeware edition for home users. AntiLogger Free detects and foils actual attempts to hack into your system and monitor your activities. Unlike many security apps, it works with your antivirus solution, not against it.
AntiLogger Free's user interface is extremely simple, listing only one installed module, Keyboard Protection, with a sliding On button indicating that protection is active. A system tray icon opens the interface when it's minimized, which is most of the time. There's no Help button, but clicking the Feedback or Bug Report links opened the developer's site. AntiLogger Free automatically checks for updates but lets you choose if, when, and how to install them in the program's Settings, which also configures basic options and proxy connections (if required). You don't have to do anything to use AntiLogger Free, unless it detects suspicious activity. Unlike typical anti-malware tools that scan your system based on an updated definition, AntiLogger Free analyzes your system's behavior and shuts down any suspicious activity it detects, simultaneously issuing a notification that lets you Allow or Block the activity. If you're fortunate, you won't get an alert, but that doesn't mean AntiLogger Free isn't doing its job. The program's Web site shows what the alerts you hope you don't get look like, along with information about what the software does and how it does it.
AntiLogger Free is easy to use, light on resources, and addresses a huge vulnerability affecting millions of users. It's free, so try it yourself. You might be glad you did, which sure beats being sorry you didn't!
Publisher's Description
From Zemana:
AntiLogger Free is a powerful application that protects your Windows computer from keylogger attacks. It encrypts your every keystroke deep into your computer's core and delvers decrypted data directly where you are typing it. No one will be able to steal your information. All they are getting is as valuable as a shredded document.
AntiLogger Free protects all the application you use. Unlike anti-logging tools that work with only one specific application such as your web browser, AntiLogger Free protects every application on your computer. Lightweight and seamless, AntiLogger free is easy to install, requires no configuration and does not slow down your PC.

"An Ideal Key-Logging Defense !"
Version: Zemana AntiLogger Free 1.2.1.396
Pros
Minimum set-up required and it runs silently in the background. Covers all applications, not just browsers, and has no display for a screen-logger to capture. Very light on system resources - I've never noticed any impact. Free version is regularly updated. Finally, it's backed by a company that seems to really care about the quality of it's product and user security. If you have a problem with it, as I once did, just let them know. I found them to be very responsive and helpful. As to the program's effectiveness, I'm pretty sure my system has never been penetrated by a keylogging attack since using AntiLogger. (but I'm not sure if it alerts you of any attempts- I'll look into it and post an update.)
Cons
No cons, really. The program does contain a file (sorry, I didn't write down it's name ) that Malwarebytes Beta Anti-Rootkit program mistook for malware and asked permission to remove. It was my own fault for letting it do so.
Summary
I've been using this program since it was still in beta and, aside from one glitch that I'm positive was caused by a long-ago corrected problem with my system, it has worked flawlessly. It requires virtually no user interaction - just set and forget. Zemana should be commended for making it available to everyone, regardless of financial status, and they won't constantly nag you to upgrade to the paid version ('hard to believe, I know). Not everyone can afford paid security programs, and Zemana belongs on that short list (along with companies like Malwarebytes, Avast, and others) that make high-quality computer security available to everyone. Buy the paid version if you have the means; this is a company that deserves our support. (And, by the way, thank you Zemana !)

"Tried to install Trojan when downloading product"
Version: Zemana AntiLogger Free 1.2.1.396
Pros
None. Stopped installation because the product attempted to install a Trojan (Detected by Mcafee anti-virus) when downloading the product
Cons
See above. Also, chose custom installation to avoid having Coupon companion and Mixdj toolbar installed as part of the download process, but the programs were installed anyway against my wishes. It also changed my homepage without my permission to Mixdj homepage. Immediately caused me to loose trust in this product
Summary
Don't trust this program

"No muss, no fuss"
Version: Zemana AntiLogger Free 1.2.1.396
Pros
Free, setup is easy, nothing to configure.
Cons
Download on hours ago, not enough time for a credible evaluation
Summary
Was using Keyscrambler, decided to give this new program a go since it offers a larger scope of protection. It appears to be doing its job silently in the background. I miss actually seeing encryption activity when typing, like with Keyscrambler.

"Great Product! Worth the Money!"
Version: Zemana AntiLogger Free 1.2.1.396
Pros
My Favorite of all the pros of the program is the Z and a shield icon..... Epic!!!!! Any ways....
Download and install was quick with no confusion.
Can run with other virus scanners. (I use AVAST)
It blocks some viruses.
Easy to use and easy set up took me 10 mins. to figure out the settings.
I had hackers in my computer and after install they were gone, so it really does help.Cons
It seems..... updates don't happen too often.
I had issues with my serial number, for the program when buying it. I got it to work by uninstalled and reinstalled. IDK why.Summary
Get product and worth every penny! I think more people should support Zemana, so it can keep up its good work.
