Worried about hijackers/ keylogger

Delaeri · Dec 11, 2006

I followed all the steps in the "READ & RUN ME FIRST" thread. My problem is that my computer is running slower than usual, turning off randomly, and tests have indicated I have a keylogger. I don't understand the logs from the steps, so I'll be attaching them in my next posts. Thank you for your time.

First three logs:

I hope I'm doing this properly. I'm not very computer-savvy. Please tell me if I did something wrong. Thanks.

What test's indicate you have a keylogger? The logs you have attach reveal no real problems. Just Viewpoint Media Player which needs to be uninstalled as requested in step 0.

And also you need to update your Sun Java version as requested in step 6 and then uninstall the below old version:

Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_05

Random shutdowns are typical signs of hardware problems not malware.

Thank you for your response. I have just removed Viewpoint Player and will install the new Java.

This test is the one that told me I had keyloggers:

Are you sure you followed directions properly. For example like below:

When you click Next, KL-Detector will minimize to the task bar. Perform the steps one by one. Don't open or save any files while you do things because otherwise KL-Detector will register a false-positive. That happens because KL-Detector is looking for events that write to a file.

When you click next, you'll see a screen telling you how long to perform the tests. Three to ten minutes usually does it. Watch the taskbar as you work. You'll see the KL-Detector ? icon. If it changes to a ! then you may have a keylogger on your system. Stop and check it.

Attach a log or a snapshot or just type in what it is finding.

I did a quick test of this program! It is way to easy to get false positives from it. Just opening any website that even attempts to create cookies (and almost all do) will result in a message about a keylogger. At this point I would say, don't trust anything it is telling you.

Okay, I got the following:

and full report attached.

Ooh, it's good to hear that you're getting a lot of false positives. I hope the program itself isn't malicious.

Thank you so much!

Nothing but false positives! Don't use it anymore! It is not a reliable program and will lead to nothing but headaches chasing down false positives.

The program is not malicious. It is just not useful and is totally misleading you the way the info being found is reported.

Ah, okay. I won't. Thank you sooo much for your time.
