CryptoDefender - Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between CryptoDefender® and other anti-keyloggers?

CryptoDefender® takes a unique approach to snoop protection. It encrypts all keystrokes and transfers them to the browser via a proprietary path, bypassing the Windows message stream completely. Thus existing and new keyloggers can’t get their hands on the keystrokes.



Does CryptoDefender® hide my keystrokes when I am using Remote Desktop programs?

Yes. The keystrokes going to Remote Desktop Connection programs can be hidden by the current CryptoDefender® releases.



Does CryptoDefender® protect a USB keyboard plugged into my laptop?

CryptoDefender®protects typing from all active keyboards; the laptop keyboard and/or USB keyboard and/or PS/2 keyboard.

CryptoDefender® works with PS/2 keyboards as well as USB keyboards, including wireless keyboards. Certain enhancement drivers for advanced specialty keyboards may not function when CryptoDefender® is enabled.



What versions of Windows does CryptoDefender® work with?

CryptoDefender® works with all versions of Windows 10 or newer and Server 2012 r2 or newer.



What Internet Browsers are supported by CryptoDefender®?

CryptoDefender® Premium (also Enterprise) works with all major browsers. CryptoDefender® provides additional protection for the most popular browsers by installing a toolbar. The CryptoDefender® toolbars are provided for Internet Explorer 9 on and Firefox releases from 29 on (CryptoDefender is usually available within days of a new Firefox release). Note – If you choose to install Firefox after you have already installed CryptoDefender® you must re-run the CryptoDefender® installer.



If my computer is infected with a keylogger, will CryptoDefender® protect me?

Yes. CryptoDefender® will protect the keys you type inside your browser, even if your anti-malware programs do not have current signatures. When the CryptoDefender® light is Green and says “ON” (or the “B” in the SysTray is flashes as you type), CryptoDefender® is protecting your keystrokes from keyloggers.



What is “Screen-scraping” (aka “Screen Logging”)? Does CryptoDefender® Protect me?

CryptoDefender® Premium Version “Desktop Protection” includes a blocker to hide the screen from screen loggers. “Screen-scraping” loggers capture snapshots of your screen each time you make a change.



What is CryptoDefender®?
