Is it best to uninstall the free version before installing this version ?
Or is installing over the top ok ?

Zemana Anti Logger installation

I only used the free version briefly some time ago but removed it as it was only 32bit.

I guess that you'd be better off removing the free version first. You can always reinstall it any time.

Zemana Antilogger install (2)

Quick test. Installed free version and removed it. Installed full version and it installed and activated.

Ran a program that I use to test anti keyloggers - it's called antitest.exe

Zemana says it's blocked it but actually it still executes:



Keylogging test: Keyboard hook is set but only records scrambled text. Zemana works.

Webcam Capture test: Webcam can be started but only a black image is recorded. Zemana works.

Additionally the webcam driver was enabled before starting the test: Webcam On/ Off

Screenshot Capture test: All eleven tests result in successful capture. Zemana fails.



Clipboard test: Zemana works.

Registry Access test: Zemana fails but I think that it's not meant to protect this or at least only protects certain areas.

Sound Record test: Zemana fails but doesn't offer protection for this.

If you're quick enough Giveaway of the day have Zemana 1.9.3 as a give away and there are still a few hours left to go

Giveaway of the Day - free licensed software daily. Today: Zemana AntiLogger 1.9.3 - Zemana AntiLogger is a powerful, efficient, and lightweight app that keeps track of who is doing what on your PC. ...

Nope, not quick enough. Been busy since yesterday morning with moving snow the clipper dropped on us.

Does anyone know what version the gotd was? I already had 1.9.3.527.

 

[DavidE]

Bummer you missed that freebie offer.
Maybe another freebie from WindowsDeal will be offered sometime soon.
I was born and grew up in Buffalo, NY ... want to talk about SNOW ????

 

[Anak]

Yeah, bummer on the miss! I've been watching WindowsDeal but it looks as if I've already missed the 100 and 70% discounts don't know how far back these go.
Shimshom did PM me and I thanked him there for watchin' out for me and other members.

When I was a younger lad I didn't mind snow, but I've since converted to the "you don't have to shovel rain" crowd.
I did my usual early morning email check and by the time snow removal and supper went by I went to bed early.

The same .527 version, eh? I'm thinking I'd have to punch in the new license, at worse, maybe a reinstall with the new license. Oh well that's water over the dam now......
I'd go with uninstalling the free version first, I tried installing the free over the licensed and the free installer asked me to uninstall the licensed version before it would go any further, I suspect the reverse would be true also.

 

[DavidE]

Yea, i uninstalled the free version before installing the paid version.
So far no problems.

It looks like the last freebie at WindowsDeal was Feb. 17, 2014

GOTD Zemana Anyilogger version

The strange thing is that I got v1.9.3.602



I had problems installing it in the first place. From memory (not too clear):

Ran the setup file from GOTD and had problems due to blocked GOTD domain in my hosts file. Disabled HOSTS and anything else that could interfere with the download and ran the file again. A temp folder was created in %userprofile%\Appdata\Local\Temp|mia1 with a new setup file that wouldn't run but it also created a file named antilogger.exe.


Downloaded trial version of Zemana and installed it. Deleted GOTD files - everything except antilogger.exe.

Ran antilogger.exe and it launched a registration program and registered the version downloaded from the Zemana site using the GOTD license code.

Edit: Just cleared temp directory and the file was still present so here's a screenshot:

Will keep an eye open for further promotion and unfortunately the time differences sometimes make it hard to get there on time

Somehow, last year I lucked into a lifetime license of ZA with real-time and id theft protection, it runs very quietly on my 7 machine, I'm happy.

Still have 351 days left on my current license, didn't bother, but good reminder to someone who doesn't have it.

David and Bill. Still about 40 minutes left to download Zemana antilogger.. Honest opinions - is it worth it for 7 and 10 or is it all hype.

Honest opinions - is it worth it for 7 and 10 or is it all hype.

I really can't say if it's worth it or hype.
From what i've read AV programs, MBAM, etc. can remove keyloggers.
If they can remove these, do they also prevent them being installed if the security program is running real-time ?
On Win 7 i use Avast free and MBAM premium for realtime protection.
Maybe that is good enough to prevent keyloggers.

It is an extra layer of protection, so for me it's worth trying.

I created a backup image, installed Zemana AL.
If i don't like it or it causes problems, i'll restore the image.
I figure might as well try it when it's available for free, then it only costs my time.

It's too late to get this free offer (expired), but they may have other free offers in the future.
You could also test the trial version so you know how it works for you, and decide if you want it.

Appreciate the feedback David. I installed the free Pro from GOTD and gave it a try. My boot time increased from about 40 seconds to over 5 minutes. At various times during routine web browsing the computer would slow to a crawl and web pages needed 30 - 60 seconds to open. Some websites like this one and Ten Forums wouldn't open at all and timed out.

Once I reverted back to a system image all was good again. Not a complaint, just letting others know my experience.

Okay I can't comment on ZAL because I have not used it for a while. My understanding is that it now includes ZAL [EDIT] ZAM (Zemana Anti-Malware) and I do use that. If ZAM is configured to use real time protection (optional) with cloud scanning (also an additional option) then I guess it does prevent key-loggers from installing.

You might be interested in this portable program just for peace of mind.

SpyDetectFree - Free Spyware Detector

SpyDetectFree is a FREE tool mainly intended for detecting processes on your computer that might be spying on your keyboard or in other word for detecting processes that might be recording your keystrokes.

Note: It only gives a report and does not remove anything. It's up to the user to investigate findings. I run it every couple of weeks.

From my machine - process name obscured because of forum rules. Items that are highlighted would need investigation.

​

So I see that in addition to the unmentionable process there are concerns with my security suite which would be monitoring visited websites and the firewall will be monitoring connections and so on so nothing to be concerned about. Then there is Prio which is a task manager addon to checking file signatures for running processes and services. Again nothing to be concerned about.
