| I downloaded System Mechanic 6 - a free version from Computeractive - to
| give it a go (in a sandbox). It claims to have detected Redhand keylogger.
|
| Now I've run KL Detect and it has not found a keylogger. I also ran
| Spyware Doctor and Spybot and they did not detect anything but then I'm not
| so sure they claim to be able to spot this Redhand keylogger..
|
| I've tried to find something via Google about this keylogger without a greal
| deal of joy but I did find someone's posting concerning System Mechanic 4
| having detected Redhand keylogger.
|
| I don't want to to tell System Mechanic to clean it up and find it's messed
| up my system (as System Mechanic seems to have done to one or 2 other users
| in the past).
|
| Can anyone kindly tell me how I can determine whether or not this is a false
| positive or a real detection?
|
| Many thnaks

I would NOT suggest using "System Mechanic 6".

If System Mechanic 6 indicated "Redhand keylogger" then file/files were detected. What
files ?

When the files are identified, please submit samples to Virus Total --
http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html
The submission will then be tested against many different AV vendor's scanners.
That will give you an idea what it is and who recognizes it. In addition, unless told
otherwise, Virus Total will provide the sample to all participating vendors.

You can also submit a suspect, one at a time, via the following email URL...
mailto:scan@virustotal.com?subject=SCAN

When you get the report(s), please post back the exact results.
