Free Zemana AntiLogger License for Everyone
Mar 13th
I personally think that keylogger is the most scariest threat. Imagine all your passwords being captured and the person who installed the keylogger is able to access all your password protected websites such as your emails, paypal, online banking and etc. One of the most effective method to counter keylogger is by using Zemana AntiLogger.
Zemana AntiLogger is one of the security products that I’ve recommended and will continue to recommend to everyone. The last time I tested Zemana AntiLogger and it was able to block virtually all keylogging, webcam capture and screenshot capture methods from different trojans. A year has gone by and again I’ve tested Zemana AntiLogger with 2 keyloggers (one of it uses rootkit method and the other advertises that it is completely invisible bypassing antivirus and firewall) and 1 trojan crypted with incognito which by bypassed many antivirus and internet security products. Zemana AntiLogger was able to detect injection on both of the keyloggers and the trojan while successfully blocking the installation of those dangerous files.
Zemana has collaborated with Softpedia to offer everyone FREE license for Zemana AntiLogger ONLY FOR TODAY. Hurry and grab your license as soon as possible.
To get your free Zemana AntiLogger license worth $39.50:
1. Go to this page http://www.zemana.com/softpedia/
2. Click the FREE Full Version Download Now button to download the installer AntiLogger_SOFTPEDIA_1.9.2.185.exe
3. Install and reboot your computer
4. Activate the program by following the on-screen instructions.
Zemana AntiLogger is easy to use. Just install and let it protect your computer. It is made to protect your computer real-time without relying on virus signatures so you won’t find any Scan button. Most if not all injections are threats, so if you get such warnings, make sure you block them first.
I believe the installer that is custom built for Softpedia which has the license number integrated to activate the program. I am not sure whether is it still possible to continue activate the license using the custom installer when this promo is expired. If the activation is limited to only today, that means if we reformat our hard drive we wouldn’t be able to use Zemana AntiLogger for free anymore. I’ve did some tracing and found that the activated license information is stored in C:\Program Files\AntiLogger\config.cfg. You can backup the config.cfg and restore it at a later time IF the online activation blocks the SOFTPEDIA-OEM-12809 license number. If you starting to think about piracy using the config.cfg, you will not succeed because the license is hardware dependent and if you transfer the config.cfg on another computer, it won’t work.
One thing I noticed about Zemana AntiLogger is it doesn’t aggressively checks the current process for threats. One example is, I am using Input Director to share keyboard and mouse between computers and it took a while before Zemana found out that Input Director is capturing the screen. Not to worry because I’ve tried turning off Zemana and then install a keylogger that auto uploads captured data but I’ve waited 30 minutes and still didn’t receive any captured data. I assume that although Zemana AntiLogger haven’t detect the threat, but it can block sensitive data from being transferred.
You can install and run Zemana AntiLogger together with your antivirus. Check here for a list of compatible security products. You have no idea how many undetectable threats out there today and relying solely on just antivirus itself is not enough to keep your personal data safe. Go tell your friends and families about this promotion.
3G Mobile Encryption Cracked
Jan 16th
Not too long ago, we heard that the GSM cellphone encryption was cracked and users were vulnerable to attacks. After GSM 64-bit A5/1 algorithm was compromised, the 3G algorithm was likely to follow shortly after.
Based on the reports about the 3G encryption cracking, the network relies on a KASUMI system, which only needs a couple of hours for a well-coordinated hacker to crack. 3G uses the KASUMI encryption, which processes 64-bit blocks using a 128-bit key.
What exactly does this mean to 3G users? We’ll, fortunately for everyone, the crack was found by researchers that used a highly complex mathematical equation and the exploit isn’t available to the public. The researchers said that their un-optimized single PC can recover 96 key bits in a matter of a few minutes and can complete the full 128 bit key in less than two hours.
Consumers shouldn’t be worried about this just yet, as CDMA has a MISTY encryption prepared. The MISTY encryption is a more complicated algorithm, which in theory should be harder to crack to a would-be hacker. Until someone else comes up with a method to crack the 3G algorithm, users data should be safe.
