    Pareto Logic XoftSpySE is finding Redhand, which it says is a commercially available keystroke logger. None of my other spyware programs catch this bugger. I have Trojan Hunter, Spybot, X-Cleaner and SpySweeper, which is the only one that runs resident as a blocker. AVG also runs resident.

    XoftSpy allows you to remove Redhand, but it comes back after a reboot; even when system restore is off, and even when you scan and remove in safe mode.

    I have not been able to get Panda Online Scan to work in IE.

    Any help? Please? Pretty Please? Thanks.

    I've never been a fan of XoftSpy. Always had too many false positives and does not fix many things it supposedly finds.

    Attach a log showing exactly what it is find.

    Redhand is a commercial application which is normally installed on purpose. That does not mean that some one could not use it for malcious purposes.

    And also answer some questions:
    • did you or anyone else install any keyloggers on this PC?
    • Is it your PC and are you the Administrator?
    • Are you the original owner of the PC?
    • did you run X-Cleaner and did it detect Redhand?

    I did not install a keylogger. No one else did to my knowledge. The computer is my laptop and is never out of my possession and rarely unattended. I am the admin. I am the original owner. I ran X-Cleaner and it did not detect Redhand.

    Sorry, do you want the Xoftspy log or a HJT log? Thanks.

    From whatever is reporting a keylogger which I assumed was XoftSpy.

    We don't accept HijackThis logs unless our full cleaning procedure is run first. HijackThis is not a malware scanning/detection program.
