Does protection from spyware also include protection from keystroke loggers?

    The mention of Keystroke loggers here, does that mean commercial keyloggers that you can buy?  Many trojans contain keyloggers, but I would assume that they would have their own generic detection?


    Indeed.  Fully malicious keystroke loggers are detected; commercial loggers have a classification that isn't currently handled by Sophos Mac Home AV.  Any malware that bundles commercial loggers inside a malicious package will have the malicious package detected, but not the logger.

    The software classification the commercial loggers belong to is controlled by the Enterprise Console, which of course doesn't operate with our Home product.
