Kapersky PDM KEY LOGGER?

Well the Kaspersky forum is full of questions about PDM Keylogger and their answer is always the same......

Nothing to be worried about. See http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=168...

Many people are not happy with this response but thats all they

will give you. This only started with KIS 2010 and is their proactive defense being a shade

to pedantic.....picking up logitec mouse and nearly all games like world of warcraft as acting

like a keylogger as soon as it starts up.....they even flag Sony Vaio as a pdm keylogger.

Anyway i dont understand what you mean by "As she checks her report as of when this trojan or virus is found it shows that Kapersky was not even protecting her pc.....in my opinion they are

over zealous in their protection and when it freezes for a moment they are checking it out and

always decide its ok and that is why they do not give you the option to allow/disallow or even block

it themselves.....believe me if they thought it was harmful they would block it.

So to sum up.. The riskware category is related to legitimate tools and in a few cases, malware. Most of the time, the riskware is legitimate. Kaspersky is making you aware of its presence since there is a remote possibility it may have been maliciously installed. Kaspersky will block, delete, or quarantine anything that might do serious harm to your computer. Many legitimate applications such as games can cause this type of malware detection-like in Kaspersky. What you are seeing is probably a pro-active detection by KIS on legitimate software.

Regarding your last point KIS 2010 is one of the top A/Virus and will protect you better than most

others so while you may not have this warning popping up with another A/V you may have worse.

Put this in exclusions as they say and keep your Kaspersky is my advice.

Keystroke logging (often called keylogging) is the action of tracking (or logging) the keys struck on a keyboard, typically in a covert manner so that the person using the keyboard is unaware that their actions are being monitored. There are numerous keylogging methods, ranging from hardware and software-based approaches to electromagnetic and acoustic analysis. The "moron" is incorrect. What you would be referring to is a remote administration tool, like Logmein Ignition. A keylogger is considered malware, and is potentially unwanted software. Hackers use keyloggers to record your passwords, and this allows them to steal your account. However, you can put a keylogger onto your on computer if you really wanted to.

Yes, a key logger will monitor the keys you type, including sensetive information such as credit cards. Everything.I would recomend AVG to get rid of this pest. free . avg . com
