MSAS - "NS Keylogger Personsal Monitor (Key Logger)" Detected?! Jim 04-22-2005

Anyone else getting this message from Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta1? (yeah,
it's misspelled "Personsal", not "Personal", just as in my title). Just got
this for the first time this morning. Far as I can tell, didn't do anything
different in past 24 hrs that would account for this. I'm wondering if an
MSAS update perhaps is creating a false positive, since the file it
complains about is:

c:\program files\spywareblaster\unins000.exe

SpywareBlaster uninstall program?!

TIA

Jim

Hi Jim.

I have seen this too, with Microsoft AnitSpyware Beta 1. It showed up
with my scan this afternoon.

Regards,
Canadian Cowboy

Same here, showed up when ran MSAS beta on Friday night. I think maybe
it was added to their definitions in latest version. I had it in
backups.

I got rid of it by going to my computer, right click properties, system
restore and turning off system restore (otherwise anything in backups
will come back if you don't first disable restore).

Just to be safe I'd run SysInternals' Process Explorer to see what is
running in the background if you don't have some other way of checking
for keyloggers.

I assume that some virus/trojan has not infect unins000.

Spywareblaster is a product that competes with their anti spyware
software. They probably want you to remove spywareblaster and use their
product instead to help strengthen their monopoly power. The best
solution is to repace your operating system with one from a different
company.
