I took a pest test at Pest Patrol and it found a thing called SpyKeylogger.
Neither AdAware nor Spybot Search & Destroy detected it. Do you think this
is a false positive?

Thanks!

Yes, but when I search for keylogger on the machine (thorough search,
including hidden folders and files and within folders), the only references
to it are etrust, the page you posted here and the results page ...

Belarc certainly wouldn't see it!

Are you using a decent Process viewer to check what's running?
What details did the Pest Patrol scan give you about locations, filenames,
etc?
Did you have viewing of Hidden AND System files enabled when you searched?

Try a search for the filenames - skl, skls; kl, sklc, ( don't worry about
the extensions)

I found this on Google too:

" I''ve returned already this morning (Dec. 23rd 2004) to update this post
as promised.
I received an email reply this morning from Pest Patrol support. Their
findings are that all the pests found from the scans I submitted (those
issues I described originally) were all false alarms [Alias' note: this post
was in a thread about SpyKeylogger]. I was directed to
mark them all to have Pest Patrol scanner exclude them from future scans. "

Looks like I have a false positive. What I don't understand is why it comes
up on two of my machines and not on the third ...

Ah - XP! (why are you posting this in an ME group??)

Yes - I noticed that thread as well - so it seems that Pest Patrol are not
as infallible as they like to think!

I would tend to ignore both the warning, and the advice to set it to
'ignore' - there's always the chance that someone may think to emulate the
situation with a real POS!!

Alias,
I have found and reported a number of false positives generated by
Pest Patrol......one of which has never been corrected by updates. Just a
word of warning, use the findings VERY judiciously......if you don't know
what the item is, there is usually help at the PP site that will list a
number of files and sometimes the location on the machine. My experience is
that, although detected, I was not infected. You did good by posting to a
NG before eliminating anything.
Heirloom, old and off to west Texas tomorrow

I didn't say it was a waste......I still use it, you just have to be
careful. Like any cleaning tool, none that I know of is perfect.
Heirloom, old and sure ain't perfect
