Hello everyone,

Please,

Which Check Point Blade or feature protects against keyloggers ?

Endpoint Protection with Device Control.

If the keylogger is not recognized as a USB device, there is no way to block or control this.

Regards

Heiko

Thank you for your reply. But I don't sure if we understand each other or maybe my question is not well asked.
What I intended is if there is a Check Point Module or Blade which protects against a keylogger (malware) which registers your entries when you hit keys by logging or when you enter your bank codes.

Malware is fought by the Threat Prevention Blades - not one blade, but AV, TE et al.

I know that Anti-Malware blade flags one of the drivers for an HP laptop called mictray64.exe, which is located in C:\Windows\System32 folder. It tells you that there is a high risk threat and then performs a deep scan on the laptop where you cannot do anything until its done.

This is a legit find, as technically there is a keylogger built into that driver, so yes, CheckPoint Endpoint will find and protect against keyloggers.
