So finally I bought Anti-keylogger, thought it's better to pay now less than to loose more some day, I hope it's worth that) Hi Mike,

It worked out alright, I’ve tried Anti-keylogger for several days, it ran without causing any issues, I even tried to install several keyloggers on purpose, they didn’t capture anything, it blocked them. So finally I bought Anti-keylogger, thought it’s better to pay now less than to loose more some day, I hope it’s worth that)

I'm not too worried about keyloggers since I generally visit the same sites, and do not download much.. Let me know how it works out. Tommy – OK I understand what you are saying.

I've found one, 'anti-keylogger',protects actively, I'm trying it right now, if it won't cause any troubles further on I'm even thinking of buying it, seems to be ok.

Do you know any of such bloking programs, are they worth using at all? Hi Everyone,

I heard a thing and just wanted to say that maybe it would be safer and would bring less trouble using some anti-spyware tools that simply block malware, because some malicious programs may integrate deeply into the kernel of OS and damage it when you remove them. Do you know any of such bloking programs, are they worth using at all?

They are often a useful source of information on malware. This information however is all spread out and what I needed is a summary (or a reference) kind of article. This is basically why I wrote this blog post. I did spend a great deal of time browsing forums, including Major Geeks. They are often a useful source of information on malware.

They are good people there and after reviewing your Hijack This logs, they help to get your puter clean. Hi Mike,

I've been down this road myself before, and it's very frustrating. I can't recall any specific site name, but there are forums out there that help people remove nagging spyware from their systems. It may take more time to get a response and a resolution, but if you are out of answers it might help. Good post Yan. I’ve been down this road myself before, and it’s very frustrating.
