Keylogger Identified
1.The installation of KIS 2010 has resulted in a pop up indicating that C:\Windows\System32\KBFILTR.SYS has a behaviour similar to PDM.keylogger detected. 2.I had contacted the MS support online, during which some changes were made to the registry and system configuration. This resulted in issues with start up and I resorted to system restore. The startup is somewhat slower after that. System Info: Win XP Home Ed SP3 2006, x-86 based PC(Atom N270) 1.6Ghz, 2G RAM I would appreciate your help on whether (1) is a virus and if (2) can be resolved. 1 person needs an answerI do too

This has come up before for Kaspersky. You can submit the file to Kaspersky via a link in this forum thread: http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=13881 You could also submit it to VirusTotal: http://www.virustotal.com I'm not sure how to evaluate question 2--but #1 is a lot more important... This is a pretty good overview of XP performance issues and safe fixes for them. It has a section on startup programs which may be relevant. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/expert/northrup_restoreperf.mspx This page on startup time improvements is pretty carefully labeled as to what advice is solid, and what has some controversy to it: http://www.pchell.com/support/how_to_speed_up_windows_boot_time.shtml "the.saintman" wrote in message news:f255e3f4-a085-4699-b02a-90054be81a26... 1.The installation of KIS 2010 has resulted in a pop up indicating that C:\Windows\System32\KBFILTR.SYS has a behaviour similar to PDM.keylogger detected. 2.I had contacted the MS support online, during which some changes were made to the registry and system configuration.
