    This is the most indestructible and tenacious keylogger I have seen or can imagine.

    See attached images.

    Here's the problem.

    Every website I visit becomes a history entry listed under help.komsomolka.info with the entry r3m0vex.

    When I mouse-over, I see that it is like a verbose bookmark with includes email ID and passwords.


    Since it shows in History, I assume it already transmitted to the remote keylogger before I am aware.

    What I've tried:
    1) Used Find to look for any file on the drive containing komsomolka or r3m0vex. The word komsomolka appears once in a
    Mozilla file called localstore.rdf . I edited localstore.rdf with a text editor, modifying the spelling of komsomolka. No change.
    2) Used 3 separate spyware/virus checkers.
    3) Disabled scvhost.exe from autoloading at bootup and renamed it to scvhostexe.bak. That apparently fixed nothing.
    4) Under Internet Options - Tools - Security - Restricted Sites - I blocked variations of komsomolka.info.

    5) I installed Microsoft patches and updates.

    This is an amazingly sophisticated keylogger.

    I might need a File Search utility that can be set to specifically look inside System/Hidden files or a system monitor program that
    shows each file as it is opened and executed.

    Ideas?
    Thanks,
