PUP / Commerical keylogger detection

Options

‎11-05-2010 11:02 AM

Hi,

 

I was able to find a lot of commercial keyloggers and other things that would normally be classified by other antivirus vendors as PUPs, Sophos didn't detect any of them.

 

Do you intend to be able to detect commercial keyloggers? should I send these samples in?  Will there be a PUP detection option in the future?

 

I have done some testing on this and it seems like a very good program so far.  Thanks Sophos.

 

Ian

Keyloggers, PUAs, and PUPs

We don’t support detection of Potentially Unwanted Applications (that would include software such as commercial keyloggers) on Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition.  We do support the detection of PUA on Windows.

 

Hope this helps,
