Re: keystroke logger problem
I would try running the free trial of Security Task Manager and also install Snoopfree, which is free. They are both very good at detecting keyloggers.
Also you could try the free shareware version of UnHackme, this little gem will find those rootkit like keyloggers that the others may miss, but UnHackme won't find regular keyloggers, so you still need the other programs for a more well rounded complete protection against keyloggers.
Many anti-spyware programs like MSAS, Ad-aware, Spybot, X-Cleaner, SpySweeper etc... will find some keyloggers also, but for better protection that doesn't rely on only signatures try the heuristic based STM, UnHackme and Snoopfree which don't have to be constantly updated. Hth. |

FWIW: I tried SnoopFree on the recommendiation made above and ended up having to run a System Restore Rollback because SnoopFree apparently needs it's own version of the VBRUN .dll file (among others) which breaks things like the task bar and start menu's in XP Pro.
Luckily I had SR enabled or I would have had to have done an ERD repair....messy. |

I actually ended up fixing not only the SnoopFree problem, but another driver problem with the System Restore, so the minor hassle was worth it for the benefit gained by doing this.
It wasn't on my main box, but I'm still happy that it was removed almost easier then it was installed. |
