Hi,
How can I check If I have a Key Logger running??? I think my brother may have installed one on my Computer running Windows XP....

Thanks
 
Just start the taskman
(using CTRL-ALT-DEL or START > RUN > taskman) and look which processes are running.
 
Thanks... did that and theres something running Called "Rem55.exe" thats the only thing that looks different in there...

I did a search on Google and havent found anything about it... anyone else know what this is??

Thanks
 
Hmmm... no idea...

Search it on your harddisk, maybe that will help.

Other stuff you might want to check:

Check the installed services.
Check the Autostart group in the startmenu (obvious, I know ;))

Check the registry entries in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices

These are programs which will be run during a startup of the machine.
 
Thanks...

Im gonna Do another Spy Bot Search and Destroy Scan, A Adaware Scan and then Panda Free online Virus scan :D

I searched for the filename and it was a .exe file that was sitting in my "Local" Folder... hhmmm

---EDIT---

hhmmmm, did the search again but this time the .EXE file has gone... Now theres a File Named "REM55.EXE-335DD699.pf" and its located in "C:\Windows\Prefetch"
