How about adding key logger detection capability with the avast antivirus, this will help a lot of online gamers to secure their computers from key loggers.

is it in one of the real time shields? is it automatic or do i still have to enable or tweak the avast client settings?

depends on the type of keylogger you want to detect

Well, if PUP is enabled also the “legit ones” get detected.

im playing an online game right now so far no lag, whats FP?, I’ve seen samples of hardware type keyloggers, but what Im afraid of is the software type can it get auto installed in a computer?

That would be the malicious type.....and those are already detected without PUP enabled
False Positive http://antivirus.about.com/od/antivirusglossary/g/falsepositive.htm ( it means that a clean file is detected as malware )
False Negative http://antivirus.about.com/od/whatisavirus/g/falsenegative.htm ( it means a malware file is detected as clean )
and PUP is not virus
PUP (potentially unwanted program) http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/PUP

I would be careful playing with anti-keyloggers. A few will leave some nasty residuals on your PC.
If you feel you need an anti-keylogger get the best - Zemana’s. It is a bit pricey however and requires annual subscription renewal.
BTW - all Host Intrusion Prevention Software(HIPS) will prevent you from keyloggers. Examples are Comodo’s Defense+, PC Tools Threatfire, etc. You have to use Comodo’s firewall in conjunction with Defense+. I don’t think Threatfire runs well with Avast as I recollect.

just keep submitting key-loggers to avast! team so they can add them as detection either malware or PUP depending on theirs nature …
