if ur talking about H@tKeysH@@k.dll
and im betting you are considering the volumes upon volumes of controversy around it
there is a lot of talk about this by ignorant ppl.. but really this is NOT malware.. but as the name suggests a library for hooking keypresses
there is released source code for it somewhere.. i dont remember where
however.. this library was used by a trojan(s?) and thus many avs detected it as malware
and since most ppl are unable to be sure.. the "better safe than sorry" took effect

wait i dont get it what, so it couldnt really do anything to my computer or what

H@tKeysH@@k.dll
this file by itself is not harmful and is nothing to worry about
its used often by game cheats/trainers since its simple to use
so if u use those often thats most likely where it came from

yah i was right i thought it came from a trainer i dled, oo ok thx man but how is it used by cheats/trainers??

I remember a while ago I had a keylogger that would start up as my windows starts up.

I could turn it off every time i booted up my computer, but there was no way of uninstalling it...it wasn't located in program files and i did a search and i couldnt find it.

I think it was called Perfect Tools Keylogger or something, but i ended up formatting my computer...

hotkeys.. the library hooks keypresses

Would you people quit being so ignorant, downloading anime porn and shutting off firewall! That'd stop the problem to begin with.

You can ask mantralord as well. He has designed quiet a few keyloggers for other people and himself. He uses them for d2 accounts, maybe he knows the remedy on how to get rid of them easily and efficiently.

[iceman887]

d3v were you being serious?

[Demosthenes]

ehh...well the log files could be stored anywhere...delete the file itself though and make sure u know whats running when ur computer starts up
