I believe my boyfriend put this on my computer while he is overseas. Does anyone know the name of the files that I can look up on my hard drive? I have already found another spy program and deleted that one. This one showed up as well.
Thank you!!!!!!
Full Version: Real Time Spy Program
Ok first thing to do is to download, install, update and run a full system scan of spybot search and destroy, Webroot SpySweeper and adaware 1.05se. All of these can be found in my signaute.
Also if you don't have one already you may want to dl and install, update and run a full sys scan of Grisoft's AVG 7 Free, its also in my signature.
You may also want to dl and run a program called "hijackthis." After you dl it, copy the .exe file to a folder on your hard drive, not your desktop or my docs. Then run a scan, and save the list of problems. Copy and paste the text file of results to the HiJackThis forum.
I'm no expert but I'm going to leave the extensive help of "HiJackThis" to someone else.

Hi krm41,
If this program is what you are talking about, then you have surveillence software installed which includes a keylogger:

It's good to run the antispyware programs mentioned but they don't have much luck with keyloggers. I looked in Spybot's database and don't see this one mentioned, although I could have overlooked it.
So my advice would be to get a HijackThis log posted right away in order to see what files and reg entries you may need to get rid of. You've gone thru that process before, but HijackThis has been updated since you had Daisuke clean up your sister's PC, so I'm going to post my standard speech:
You also might want to consider another program that specializes in removing surveillence software and keyloggers. X-Cleaner from XBlock offers a freeware version that can be found here:
http://www.xblock.com/download-freeware.shtml
The full-featured version will cost you $40 USD.
I should also mention that Spysweeper is a great program, but it is only free for 30 days. I also wouldn't recommend installing AVG if you already have another anitvirus installed.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
