Keylogger protection in Trojan Antivirus refers to a security feature designed to detect, block, and prevent malicious software (such as Trojans) that record keystrokes on a user's device without their consent. Keyloggers are often used by cybercriminals to steal sensitive information like passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal data entered via the keyboard.
Trojan Antivirus employs real-time monitoring, behavioral analysis, and signature-based detection to identify keylogging activities. It scans for known keylogger signatures, monitors suspicious processes that may be capturing keystrokes, and alerts or blocks such threats before they can transmit stolen data.
Example:
If a user installs a seemingly harmless application that secretly logs keystrokes to steal login credentials, Trojan Antivirus will detect the abnormal behavior (e.g., an unrecognized process accessing the keyboard input buffer) and quarantine or remove the threat.
For enhanced protection, especially in cloud-based environments or remote workspaces, Tencent Cloud's Host Security (CWP) provides advanced threat detection, including keylogger prevention, by leveraging machine learning and behavioral analysis to secure endpoints. This ensures comprehensive defense against Trojans and other malware targeting sensitive input data.
