    Windows Defender keylogger question

    Pulcinella,

    Cannot answer your question about Windows Defender actually preventing a keylogger attack. Someone familiar with the WD code may be able to answer that.

    However, the best Keylogger protection, IMO, is obtained by using Anti-Keylogger software as an added layer of protection for your system.

    Anti-keylogging software such as Zemana AntiLogger shields your system by encrypting your keystrokes.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I used Zemana Antilogger free for few years. It has not been updated for long time, also I do run VoodooShield which lock my computer at the hint of an intrusion and I wish to lighten up my system.
    I appreciate the thought that does not hurt to have an extra layer. However several free antivirus stop keyloggers on their track before they can execute.
    Hence why I asked if WD does that too. Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I know it will detect a keylogger infection during its routine scan and possibly get rid of it.
    I'm concerned about what happen between the intrusion and the time WD does its routine scan though.
