Perfect Keylogger removal:

First... I do not know if this works because I have not had to remove it from any machine yet.

Second... Attempt to use any uninstaller you may find in add/remove programs for the following comapny:  "blazingtools"

Third... this symantec security response page might (not sure; unconfirmed) be able to instruct you as to how to remove the registry entries and other files from your system.  (if you have norton updated... try norton.  They claim they can remove that stuff.)

Write down the registry key information (path in the registry as well as key name and info) for each key and place that information in a text file before you remove the keys.  Some times keys you remove can point to other files which will also auto-run the keylogger when you start windows, but that might not be on the norton list (this would be a modified version of the keylogger, not uncommon)  and will just repopulate the system with the spyware on your next restart.

I reccomend you follow the Steps from "Third" in Safe Mode for best results.  To get to safe mode, press "F8" on your keyboard as you boot up... you might have to press it repeatedly to pop up the selection menu to choose safe mode.

Post back and let me know what you find.  Be very careful with your deleteion of keys.  Post anything you think looks suspicious and I will take a look at it when I next visit.

Norton Corporate does an EXCELLENT job and kicks any other virus program's ass all the way to Taiwan or wherever these viruses seem to be coming from!  It is distributed for free by a lot of universities to all students.

It is always the first and does an excellent job preventing viruses that aren't even defined specifically at the time of an infection--e.g. Serflog.

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

Lidge, the url might help. lol :P

Firewalls are a pain, if I use them, the hackers have already won, and i'll end up like Taurik. Also, using as many proxies as I do... heh.. the firewall would drive me crazy.

But yeah, I found a few manual deletion sites, couldn't find a single file that they had listed. I no longer find any reg keys associated with Perfect Keylogger. Spy Bot named it Keylogger pro. I searched for both of the listed files for each.

So either the guy decomplied it, and edited the .dll files and what not, or I got rid of it completely.

I'm not too worried about it, and Norton scares me, i'de rather lose a few accounts.

I still havn't found any odd connections through netstat. I'll do a port scan sooner or later.

DLLs are a pain in the ass just to code for.  Decompiling is a very hit or miss idea, you have to know what program compiled it, what machine it was compiled on, etc.  It's far from impossible, but if someone actually did all the work required, he needs a life.

Gnight.... Gstricto is obviously picking on you because he is a dirty racist.
So ironic that a heart made by man, when broken is easily fixed.   But a human hurt can last a lifetime.

heh... I do that sometimes.

If it looks like you got rid of it, then excellent.

http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/ ... ect.b.html

There's the link.

I usually use google to find results... and digging is required too sometimes.

I generally don't trust the message board type sites I find... they tend to be sprinkled with helpful people and people who are trying to help, but reccomend to get rid of things they shouldn't.
