I have an icon in the systray (taskbar) lower right
corner of my XP home desktop, "Activity-tracker.com", I
can't remove. I went to the sight to see what it was, a
porn site comes up. I did a google search it came up as a
keylogger. Nothing is listed under programs or the start-
up menu. I went through msconfig and regedit and deleted
anything the search found with activity-tracker and
keylogger, but the icon is still there. I also tried
several anti-spyware programs but no joy. Does anyone
have any ideas? I guess my last resort is to zero out the
hard drive. Thanks

Hello,
Click to expand...
There is a program by Webroot called ,"Window Washer".
I know of two people who used it for this same issue
with success. I can't say however, that it will work for
you. I believe you can download a free trial from the
Webroot site. It wouldn't hurt to try. I use Webroot
products and I know it most certainly will not do any
harm.
Best of luck to you,
Ron J
 
If this doesn't go away with a full, deep, scan while
started in safe mode (press F8 before the first Windows
screen appears) and logged in as "administrator"--then I
would call Microsoft Product Support Services and get help.

There are a number of questions here--is this real or is
it a false positive? If it is real, you need to hear what
they have to say about what may have been disclosed to an
unknown party.

In at least two cases involving keyloggers here, removal
of the keylogger resulted in an inoperable keyboard. So--
better to get direct help.

In the United States or Canada, call 1-866-pcsafety.

In other parts of the world, call your local Microsoft
subsidiary.

PSS provides free support for issues relating to Virus
infection and security patch related issues. A keylogger
definitely qualifies for this help, but perhaps not all
spyware related issues do--I don't know how they make the
determination.

I'd love to hear back how this works out?
