Best practices for using MyPlanetSoft Anti-Keylogger effectively
1. Install from a trusted source
- Download only from the official MyPlanetSoft site or a reputable archive.
- Verify file hashes/signatures if available.
2. Run on a clean system
- Scan the system with a current anti-malware tool before first use to avoid conflicts with existing malware or drivers.
3. Use for high-risk input only
- Enter passwords, banking info, and other sensitive text through the Anti-Keylogger’s secure input interface rather than the normal keyboard whenever possible.
4. Understand its limits
- It protects against system-wide software keyloggers but does not stop hardware keyloggers, malicious keyboard drivers, or application-specific loggers. Combine with other controls (see next).
5. Keep complementary protections active
- Use a modern antivirus/anti-malware product, OS updates, and a reputable anti-exploitation or HIPS tool to reduce the chance of keylogger installation.
- Consider endpoint protection that detects driver/rootkit tampering.
6. Minimize privileges
- Run your regular account as a standard (non-admin) user; use elevation only when necessary to limit what malware can install.
7. Monitor for suspicious devices/drivers
- Periodically inspect Device Manager and USB device lists for unknown devices (possible hardware keyloggers).
- Check installed keyboard drivers and unsigned drivers.
8. Use on known-good input paths
- Prefer virtual on-screen keyboards provided by the tool for browser logins; avoid copy-pasting sensitive data from other apps that may be monitored.
9. Update workflow if software is outdated
- MyPlanetSoft Anti-Keylogger appears to be old and may not be actively maintained. If updates are unavailable, plan a migration to a actively maintained anti-keylogging solution.
10. Test before relying
- Verify the tool works in your environment (browser(s), remote desktop, virtual machines) — perform a harmless test to confirm secure input is captured as intended.
