   Installed and rebooted as requested. Comp wouldn't start and booted up into a blue screen saying FATAL SYSTEM ERROR. Restarted in safe mode and uninstalled Elite Anti Keylogger. Rebooted and system started ok - To check this was the problem, I installed Elite Anti Keylogger again and rebooted as requested - Same problem, blue screen with FATAL SYSTEM ERROR. Had to reboot into safe mode and uninstall again. Restarted computer and things were back to normal. Any ideas why this occurred? I am Running Windows XP.

   Thanks for letting everyone know Matt. If you installed it twice and the same thing happened, thats good enough for me.

   Personally I don't need the offering today so I didn't install it. LOL can't wait to see who all wants to prevent "Keylogging" on there PC.

   OOOOOhhh something just came to mind. Could there be a Keylogger already installed on your pc that you needed to disable before installing the anti keylogger and that is what is causing the fatal error? ROTFLMAO

   I installed it like I do all giveaways and after using it for a hour or so restored an image, I would avoid this. Ohh I did ha.

   I would expect a good spyware app and antivirus solution would find the naughty keyloggers.

   I have spent many years fixing PCs that have been "gunked up" with spyware and an oversupply of tools, utilities and programs to monitor, fix, clean, scan, check, and update their pc.

   Some people think if one tool is good, then five tools is five times as good. However often it comes to the point when antispyware, antivirus, firewalls, keylogger detectors, registry cleaners, defraggers, uninstallers, start menu cleaners etc etc etc - start to interfere with each other.

   Most of these tools are developed and tested on a more-or-less clean system. After installing a dozen other tools - your system no longer appears like a "standard windows system" and many of these programs were never tested or intended to be run in such an environment.

   In my experience it is much better to keep utilities installed on your system to a simple minimum. Find what works, and then stick to it. While GOTD might tempt people to install each new program and utility - it is much better to do as Lee has, and image, install, test, then restore the image - or just avoid installing programs you do not understand or need.

   Not all programs play well with other programs - and security related software (often with low level hooks into your system) is the type that is most likely to cause incompatibilities.
