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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Reply   |   Comment by W  –  7 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+9)

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

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..

Reply   |   Comment by perpetummobile  –  7 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (-13)

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.

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.

Reply   |   Comment by perpetummobile  –  7 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (-5)

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.

Reply   |   Comment by Knot  –  7 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (-2)

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.

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

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!

Reply   |   Comment by Crazy Denny  –  7 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+20)

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.

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.

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.

Reply   |   Comment by Edward Hung  –  7 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+35)

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.
