424465 2006-01-26 21:20:00 Hello There,
Just thought I would let you Know that when I downloaded an update for Inter/video it came back with a virus that traced every key stroke on my Keyboard.etc
I only found out by running a spywear programme I do not use often called Steganos, but Microsoft,Spybot,and A.Adware did not pick it up and they are usually very good.

Has any one else had this problem?

Regards

424466 2006-01-26 21:27:00 Anti spyware programs don't always detect viruses - after all, they are for Spyware detection, not Virus detection. If you think you may have a virus, you need to be using a virus scanner such as AVG, instead of relying on anti-spyware programs to pick them up. pixeldust (6619)
424467 2006-01-26 23:27:00 i doubt very much you got it from an offical update, however if you got it from a warez site it proberly serves you right.

edit: naturally you need to fix your antivirus and i hope you didn't let the keylogger through your firewall. it would be a wise idea to change ALL passwords includeing any online accounts (bank, paypall, trademe etc)
