PUP.Elite Keylogger (EliteKeylogger.B) is classified as malware by most anti-malware software for Mac despite being legitimately developed and freely sold by WideStep Software. The company created Elite Keylogger as a computer monitoring tool and that’s not illegal. However, anti-malware solutions will detect it as malware because it can be used maliciously to spy on users and steal information. By design EliteKeylogger.B is trying to stay hidden from the user and that further makes it suitable for malicious use.

EliteKeylogger.B has a lot of the capabilities one would expect from a commercial keylogger software.

  • Typed keystroke recording.
  • Clipboard capturing.
  • Screenshot recording.
  • Email reporting.
  • Credentials logging.
  • Chat recording.

EliteKeylogger.B’s functionality combined with its design to operate stealthily makes it naturally lend itself to use by cybercriminals. While it can be useful for monitoring purposes, in the wrong hands EliteKeylogger.B can lead to serious damages and that makes it a severe threat. For those reasons, antivirus software will classify Elite Kelylogger as malware and remove it if necessary.
