Any average PC user would tell you how important having an active antivirus/ anti-malware protection is. However, security software has developed (along with cyber threats), and now the average user can choose between an array of security-oriented products.
For example, the growth of banking malware and digital identity theft has led to the development of software that specifically protects the user against information stealers, keyloggers and similar.
Let’s have a closer look at Zemana AntiLogger – an anti-keylogger piece of software that protects users from keyloggers, banking malware, spyware and remote surveillance programs.

Both premium and free versions have:

- Protection against keystroke logging (which encrypts the user’s keystrokes so that data is unreadable even if stolen)
- SSL intrusion prevention (against SSL vulnerabilities)
- Antivirus compatibility (compatible with alsmost any antivirus solution running on the user’s PC, read below for details)
The paid version offers support for multiple languages, financial malware protection (such as banking Trojans), screen capture protection, webcam and microphone hijacking protection, clipboard remote access and system intrusion protection, priority updates, cloud powered protection (IntelliGuard) and free technical support.

The program’s developers have tested Zemana AntiLogger with a range of security products. The results are quite satisfying – it works perfectly with almost any antivirus product, including Kaspersky, Microsoft Security Essentials, BitDefender, AVG, Avira, BullGuard, F-Secure, Forticlient, Malwarebytes, McAffee, TrendMicro. So far, the exceptions are:
- Agnitum;
- Bank of China Bocnet Client;
- Blue Ridge Networks;
- eSafe;
- Quick Heal;
- Snoop Free;
- System Protect.
Depending on the type of protection you need, you can easily choose between the two versions of the software.
Zemana AntiLogger: Security Features and Settings
As already mentioned, Zemana AntiLogger offers protection against all types of keyloggers and infostealers. It can also block hackers who try to turn on a user’s webcam and microphone for cyber espionage. And it also provides screen-capturing protection.
Besides those quite impressive features, Zemana AntiLogger offers additional ones for advanced protection. The program has an easy to navigate interface, and if you have any questions about its functionalities, you can easily go to the Help button, where you can find additional details about the installation and usage of the software, the protection and management console, and its settings. You will also find a Glossary of Terms.
Some notable features available in Zemana AntiLogger:
- If you are afraid that someone may try and disable the program, you can add a password to protect it from alterations.
- The program enables you to manage (rule) lists (in the management console) – once a process is added, Zemana AntiLogger will memorize it.
What We Like
- Zemana AntiLogger is small in size and is not demanding in terms of system resources;
- Zemana AntiLogger has a free and paid version, which makes it available to more users;
- Zemana AntiLogger has a user-friendly interface and is quite easy to navigate through;
- You can password-protect the program to make it even more secure.
What Is Missing
- Even through Zemana AntiLogger is compatible with most antivirus products, it would be much better if it was compatible with Agnitum, eSafe, System Protect (see above);
- A virtual keyboard could be added to Zemana AntiLogger’s set of features – not a big minus, since the Windows OS has an on-screen keyboard.
Conclusion
Zemana AntiLogger will add one more layer of protection and will run alongside your antivirus solution (unless it is any of the ones listed above). The program has various features and provides protection against banking malware (in its paid version). If you want to increase your protection against cyber identity and financial theft, consider installing the program.

I purchased Zemana anti keylogger 2 weeks ago, they charged my card 29.99 USD. Then sent me an e-mail with a 16 digit pass code, 4 E-mails with CSR, back and forth, and no way to activate, or place to enter the 16 digit code, for my paid-for 1 year subscription. Today, I received a notice that my subscription was not activated and therefore cancelled/deactivated. Today, As I scrolled through google, it shows 7 days ago Zemana has shut down it`s free version, effective immediately (as of 7 days ago) but the 29.99 version was still available. They may have just gone out of business, i received no answer to my question on my subscription, or a refund.
