I keep hearing that Emsisoft protects against keyloggers and that I don't need Zamana anti-keylogger software, so I wrote/sent an email message to their support/technical team.
Below is their response concerning using Zamana Antilogger with Emsisoft antimalware pro:

: Regarding what Emsisoft protects me from. [Ticket#566713] Emsisoft Support Sun, May 5, 12:08 AM,
Hello Elijah, and thank you for contacting Emsisoft Support. The answer is complex rather than simple, and without knowing exactly what mechanisms Zemana Antilogger uses and how, which of course they will not share with us or even you, we cannot thoroughly answer. Emsisoft Anti-Malware protects against malware on your own computer that may attempt to 'phone home' with your data, among many other things. While visiting a properly administrated website with properly configured SSL services, you would not have a problem. The problem could possibly appear when visiting a site that for some reason does NOT have good security in place. Also, neither product can protect you against hacks directed at the sites you visit of course, but that is an entirely different issue over which you and we have no control. As Zemana Antilogger also operates on your computer, there is only so much either product can do, since once any data leaves your computer en route to an assumed well-maintained website, both we and Zemana are powerless to protect it.
If in doubt, use them both. I am not aware of any issues causing the two programs to conflict at this time.

So, This member and spokesperson of their team could or would not say that Emsisoft antimalware or any feature of their great software that I love, and will continue to use, protects my info from keyloggers that want to steal my valuable passwords, banking information or anything else I type into my machine. He (David Biggar of Emsisoft) even suggests I should use both software if I am concerned over this issue.
...The only problem I see is if I did not have enough ram installed so that multiple defense software would slow down my machine. I learned a long time ago to have at least 16 mg of ram installed on my machine so it does not get too hot or too slow. I am always hearing people online complaining about how their computers are overheating when using the best antimalware. When I ask them how much ram they have, they almost always come back with 4 or 6, gigs. Twelve gigs of ram are what I hear most people have on their machines. ...It's OK if your machine is fast enough for you and your machine is not overheating, but I personally can't get away with it with everything I like to install on my computer.
My philosophy is this: Nobody can have enough of the best-rated self-defense software on their machines since new threats are coming at all of us from bad "black-hat" operators by the minute. ...Even the big corporations and the United States government has "Fortune 500" companies using supercomputers as firewalls trying to stop what is coming to invade their computers/systems.
Until I hear a better argument, my final conclusion is, "If you can afford it, get enough ram on your machine. Then add Zamana Anti-logger, plus the best VPN to the best anti-malware if you want a fighting chance in the future of protecting your system and valuable information from what is being developed by evil people online. Because, from my experience, sooner or later you are going to encounter them."
I hope this helps. ("Ignorance is not bliss.")
