Anti-Keylogger

Keyloggers are programs designed to monitor and record everything that you type on your computer. Online Armor detects Keyloggers by how they act, assuring the greatest level of detection and ensuring that they cannot bypass the Online Armor Firewall.

If an Unknown program is Allowed to run and begins to act like a Keylogger then Online Armor will Block the behavior and pop-up to ask you if you want to Allow it to proceed. As many programs use these same techniques for non-malicious reasons, such as "Hot Keys", you may see detections for legitimate software that does not actually record keystrokes. We do not recommend blocking behavior of software known to be legitmate and trustworthy, as doing so may cause unpredictable problems.

Keyloggers List

Once a Keylogger has been Allowed or Blocked it will be added to the Keyloggers list. You can access this list by opening the Online Armor Control Panel and selecting Anti-Keylogger from the Main Menu.

The Keyloggers list is organized using a table with the following columns:

• Status – Shows whether the Keylogger was Allowed or Blocked.
• Program Name – The name of the program file that was detected as a possible Keylogger.
• Name – Shows the name of the program that was detected as a possible Keylogger.

Each row is color coded to indicate whether the program is Trusted (green), Not Trusted (red), Unknown (salmon), or is no longer present (gray).

A legend showing the colors and their corresponding status can be displayed by clicking on the Legend link above the table.

Underneath the list are the following buttons:

• Allow – If a Keylogger has been Blocked then this button will be enabled and will change the Keylogger to Allowed.
• Block – Blocks the Keylogger activity and configures Online Armor to automatically block any future Keylogger activity from this program.
• Delete – Removes the Keylogger from this list. Deleting the item will cause Online Armor to pop up again if the program acts like a Keylogger again in the future.

Online Armor does not show Trusted programs by default to keep the Keyloggers list more manageable. Remove the check next to the “Hide trusted” box to the left of the buttons at the bottom to see any Trusted programs in the list.

Keyloggers List Context Menu

You can right-click any item in the Keyloggers list to access the following additional options:

• Show file information – Shows any information about the file that was included by the maker of the program. If the program has a valid digital signature, the words "Signed by:" will be displayed in green text, followed by the name of the signer. You can also click More to be taken to the Online Armor website for any information Online Armor has collected about this particular program.
• Autosize columns – Sets the Keyloggers list to automatically resize all columns in the table to accommodate the longest string of text in each column.
