SpyShelter Premium 10.8.4 was available as a giveaway on August 10, 2016!
SpyShelter Premium is a real time protection application which constantly monitors crucial areas in your system and instantly alerts you about every suspicious action. SpyShelter is capable of stopping keyloggers, trojans and other malicious applications from hooking into your system, without using any sort of signature database – SpyShelter relies completely on detecting specific behaviors. With this proactive approach, SpyShelter is capable of detecting zero-day malware much faster than antivirus software.

Dear users,
In case of the 'key invalid' error, please make sure that you enter the key data without TABulators or white spaces.
Name field should be BLANK (empty) just code without spaces. Another solution is “Offline activation”

I had some technical difficulties in the beginning, but fortunately I contacted SpyShelter support and they were able to help me really fast. I have been using it now for couple of hours, I think that most of the rules are set by now (overall took like 2 minutes to respond to all alerts), and I should not be seing them now again.
This program is a great addition to protect your privacy. I feel much comfortable being able to disable webcam and sound monitoring for my browsers.

Great piece of soft! Beware: Not for newbies, perfect for more advanced USERS.

thanks but I already have WinPatrol free version which does everything I need for this type of protection warning.

terrawarra, Those are completely different programs though

I don't care if people log my key strokes as I use a key scrambler that just works and is free. I also use private firewall which will warn my of anything trying to come in or out of my computer
Save | Cancel
ilikefree, You don't care if people log your keystrokes SO you use keyscrambler? I guess that must be true because keyscrambler free encrypts few browsers only while SpyShelter Premium encrypts keystrokes inside ALL applications.
Save | Cancel
If you feel like you can manage your own security, then SpyShelter is definitely for you. Less advanced users might have issues but the Knowledgebase on SpyShelter website as well as included Help file in the program will help less advanced users to learn the basics.
I definitely recommend it.

Please help. Multiple application error messages upon restart after installing. Tried to uninstall, Will not. Tried to reinstall, won't do that either. Windows Vista. HELP please...?
Save | Cancel
PD, Just go to your system Control Panel and uninstall SpyShelter from there, or go to your SpyShelter installation folder and run the attached uninstaller, it is really that simple.
Save | Cancel
Knot, As stated above, I tried uninstalling both ways. Thanks anyway. I eventually had to do a system restore.
Save | Cancel
Downloaded and installed without a hitch. Licensing was a snap. Doesn't seem to slow the system or the browser down. Integrates very well into my system. Looks like a keeper.
Save | Cancel
After a quick installation, i was required to restart my pc. Upon restart, I had multiple application errors and hangs.
Now, I am trying to uninstall it, and it will not uninstall, through control panel or the Uninstall application itself. Still working on it. Wont say much more until i fix the problems.

I downloaded and installed this software. After having done some testing I decided to uninstall it. This sw might me for real professional IT people ok. For a common user it is useless as you won't be able to determine if the alert is dangerous or just a minor reminder.
Save | Cancel
Tried to get this to work earlieron but got an invalid key error but after reading "Dear users" comment I did manage to get it to work. Initially the constant pop ups were annoying, but you have to remember they are there for the user to make an informed decision about the file in question and the fact that you can go online and check it out is a good idea. It's also very lean and doesn't comsume resources. My only real gripe is that it is only a 6 month licence, if it proves it's worth over the next 6 months I might go ahead and buy it ... Unless something better comes along.

Downloaded it many times, but keep showing the error:
"The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program"
Also, it tries to install "software informer", that is a kind of virus.

This is currently the best antikeylogging software out there, although, it is for semi-advanced and advanced PC users only. Description should mention that.
Beginners might have hard time using that program since it is a real time protection software and is far different from antiviruses.
Save | Cancel
W, basically agree but notice that after turning off HIPS module, this is still great KeyStrone Encryption program so easy to use without alerts and great anti logger driver
Save | Cancel
W, Do you have anything to support your claim of this being the best
Save | Cancel
Maybe the worst program in anti keylogger category,I ever tried.I saw that users already noticed it's annoying and useless,non-stop alerts.But,I could ignore that if software is good and reliable,but it's far from that.I tested it on few ''links'' well known for attempting to log on to your webcam.You can find those links easy,they are connected with almost all major free sports streaming sites such as ''Sports On Demand'',and with some market researching sites.This product remains ''silent''.Then I tried the same thing with for example Zemana Antilogger,and as soon as I entered to SOD site,Zemana alerts me with- ''xy is trying to connect to You webcam'' with small window where I can choose between ''Block'' and ''Allow''-as it should be.All programs of this type manged to detect that-except this one.Instead I was constantly informed about activities for which I was aware without notification.And still they are offering 6 months license?For the product which most people won't use even as freeware!! sorry for my English,it's not my native language..
Save | Cancel
perpetummobile, I wonder if you got paid for that comment. Zemana is nowhere near the level of detection that SpyShelter offers and everybody knows that. Read security forums like wilderssecurity.
Also SpyShelter is offering their own security tool which bypasses many antiviruses up to this day.
Save | Cancel
perpetummobile, even a 10 year old can see that this is an advertisement comment :D
Save | Cancel
Lolmana, no I'm not from Zemana,and no this is not advertisement comment.I wrote ''for example Zemana Antilogger'' and also wrote that I compared this product with other antiloggers.I have Zemana on 1 of my machines,but it's not my 1st choice.Ok I'm dumb.But try to use any antilogger on one of those sites I mentioned,then try this one,and let me know how it ''worked''.BTW I'm not using those kind of software anymore because I don't need one when I have a good antivirus protection,If You don't believe me,do a little research.
Save | Cancel
perpetummobile, I will add few words myself into discussion. I have been using SpyShelter since circa 2012 and honestly, you saying that you received "alerts" from normal programs, but not from security test tools, mean that you are completely lying because either SpyShelter doesn't give any alerts (it's disabled) or it gives alerts for everything.
Getting agressive about not advertising clearly means that you are advertising.
http://exposingsecurity.blogspot.com/p/test-results.html // http://www.matousec.com/projects/proactive-security-challenge-64/results.php - Random tests and comparision from google results shows that you have no idea what are you talking about.
Zemana never worked on Windows 8 and Windows 10, it was a dead program until few days ago they updated it.
Save | Cancel
perpetummobile, I have done my research, and it seems that you have not. Stop lying. There is no other antilogger on the market except for Zemana, which is far behind in terms of detection ratio. Check security forums and places where people who are into security.
Low protection for beginner users = Zemana, advanced protection for users = SpyShelter.

Bitdefender also has a free one. However, I have not tried it yet.

Asd, Nothing bits a virtual machine mode. You can walk into hackers den and laugh at them. I do not have to click the stupid popups every few seconds and or try to decide what to do next after a warning. This software is not for the regular user, no matter how many times you praise it.
Save | Cancel
Sammy, And creating virtual machine is? :D

Thanks guys for the reply, I currently have CryptoPrevent from FoolishIT in free version. CryptoPrevent has some software restriction policies. But i'am not sure if it's enough. I try to find out from DatPol about anti-ransomware feature in SS.

Sammy,
I have been using Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware for about 3 weeks and have yet to get popups.
As for Praising any software, where's that ?
Question asked, potential solution offered.

Six months, no thanks. I had this software before, it drove me nuts with an alert every time I visit new web site or change some setting or leave the computer unattended for few minutes.

Just woke up and noticed this on my Facebook feed :] Thanks GOTD! It is great to see actually good software being given away.

This program is a PIB. It says it will "instantly alerts you about every suspicious action". Well it does, that is, everything. It pops up alert notices on about everything you do. The opening window does not allow for maximizing the window. So you have to scoot each item around to read the alert to determine if you should allow the action. It reminds me how annoying msconfig command doesn't allow to expand the window. After the download install, it will reboot your PC....I don't remember it asking me. If you want continued pop ups asking to allow or delete, etc., then this is your program. Uninstalled
Save | Cancel
Crazy Denny, sounds like you have no idea about how HIPS applications actually work
Save | Cancel
WLW, well first of all HIPS is Host Intrusion Prevention Software. Second, I actually installed this program....did you?....GOTD is a site for all to evaluate and comment on a program. This is what I did. This program wasn't one for me. To assume a commenter knowledge doesn't meet your standards is rude!
Save | Cancel
WLW, most of us do, but you are trying to make a user a part of the HIPS and there is the danger.
This system is only as good as the responses of the user to the popup alert. Even if the HIPS software correctly identifies a threat, the user may inadvertently approve the wrong action and the PC could still become infected. Out of thousand innocent alerts, a user becomes numb to the alerts and starts to ignore any future alerts and the software therefore turns into an annoying experience.
Save | Cancel
Now its getting real annoying. Even after uninstalling with left over clean up the pop-ups are still there.
Save | Cancel
hoboko, Somehow I can't believe you. You must have uninstalled wrong application lol
Save | Cancel
TK, People with no IT knowledge will most likely ditch the program, unless they are willing to learn. SpyShelter's website contains some useful information about Alert management here: https://www.spyshelter.com/alerts-and-rules/
About your last paragraph, It's 2016, every trojan by now bypasses UAC and silly access permissions.
Save | Cancel
Asd, I do not want to decide for every minute warning about any minute danger and every time I have to read and close the annoying popups.
Win 10 does a pretty good job about it and if you run a virtual session when surfing, this software is obsolete.

Sammy, Oh boy, good luck with that attitude.

Asd,
The statement "everything is allowed" is a fiction; in NT many of the low-level functions that could be used before now have to go through the operating system.

My personal opinion is that to be a real giveaway it should last at least one year. If not, it is only a trial. Sorry for my comments. Others issues are ok. Thank you.
Save | Cancel
Jorge, it could be longer i agree, but to be honest 6 months is still solid, especially considering that 1 year costs 29.95€
Save | Cancel
mob, Hello Mob, I understand your point of view. However, if you say "giveaway", it is a gift, and it really should last forevever, even without updates. Although that, I accept one year, but six months should not be called a giveaway, for me it´s just a trial. Thanks for your comment.
Save | Cancel
Whew, this is great! I was about to buy 1 year license tomorrow because my trial was expiring :D

Peter C, I've already bought a one year licence, so I'm glad this isn't for a year, otherwise I'd be pretty gutted!

Just make sure there is no space at the end or beginning after you have pasted serial number in.

Seb, Thank you very much, it is working....
Save | Cancel
drago tomas,
So pleased to hear that news.
Save | Cancel
Very quickly received the serial key.
During in the setup a number of options were offered regarding key encryption, and level of detection.
On running it immediately picked up on ProcessLasso and gave me a number of options.
It has some pretty decent reviews and a quick read of them gave the impression that until some rules have been set there would be a lot of alerts.
It isn't something I will be purchasing at the end of the six-month, and so I'm not willing to go through the process of setting the rules.
The route I take is to backup my system drive quite regularly and my other partitions less frequently rather than trying to trap malicious actions.
It looks like it has some pretty decent protection built-in and if you need some more, say for your password manager, it could be a worthwhile download.

Re: The program provides a 6-months license
Will it stop to work after 6 month? i.e We have to pay after 6 month in order to keep it function.
Save | Cancel
Edward Hung, According to the vendor's website, the answer is yes. The program will stop functioning and you will need to purchase a new license.
https://www.spyshelter.com/help/#expiration
(I know this talks about the one year license, but why would it be any different for a six month license?)
"What happens after one year license expires?"
"You will be informed about upcoming expiration date of your license. After your current license expires, protection will be automatically disabled until you activate new License Key."
So instead of the normal 14 day trial, this is a 6 month trial.
Save | Cancel
Louis Hazard, Do people actually use a 14 day trial period? I wouldn't waste my time on that ever. Wait I think I did one time back in the nineties for winzip...
