    I was looking at how to remove the SC-Keylog from my pc & in one website it said that if you tried to manually remove it, that you can destroy your computer. Is this true? Im new to this keylog stuff & I have no idea how to remove it. Can someone please help! :-(

    Not true if you installed it yourself. SC-Keylog, like a lot of spy apps can be tagged as malware because it installs stealth like. If you did not install it, these directions seem decent:

    You might try an anti-spyware utility like SuperAntispyware

    What can I do so the mcafee software wont keep popping up telling me that a trojan was removed? (it says the name of the keylog too)

    Boot into safe mode. Reboot, tap f8 and choose safe mode. Try it from there.

    Simple, uninstall McAfee and use different antivirus that allows you the choice of what to delete or uninstall sc-keylog. ;) Why do you need a keylogger anyway?

    I need the keylogger to see what my husband is up to since I notice he's hiding something from me. I just dont want the keylogger to ruin my computer. I dont know how I would unistall that anti virus, cause he's the 1 that installed it in the pc, cause its from comcast, so he would def..... know I did it, & suspect something. :)

    Then you have no choice but to uninstall the keylogger. You could look into purchasing a full blown better keylogger but odds are that McAfee may detect it to.

    I'm sorry but this is no longer a topic for the Malware Removal Forum. You should post in the Software Forum if you want any kind of help with this but I don't think spying on a spouse is going to improve your relationship...... also not a topic for this forum. ;)
