False Positive on Keylogger???

Chas.

On several occasions, Agnitum's Anti-Spyware has picked up "Looxee
Keylogger" on my machine, and references this in the registry:
HKLM\software\microsoft\direct3d\application\name. Using the Antispyware,
the "name" folder is removed.

I have other antispyware applications on my machine, including Spyware
Doctor, AdAware, MS Windows Defender, Spybot, and Prevx1 (enough already?),
none of which has picked up on Looxee Keylogger. Nor have I been able to
locate any files commonly associated with Looxee on my machine.

I think this must be a false positive, but would appreciate an explanation
as to what may be occurring.

Thanks.

Kaspersky av is quite good at detecting keyloggers. Check my web site
for KAVDOSNT.exe and after it self-extracts files, run KAVDOSNT.BAT
to download the data bases. Then reboot into Safe mode and using the
same batch program do a scan of your drive.

sorry, Art, but that's not a sig. A sig is consist additional of a
sig-delimiter "-- " without the "".

:)) Right! He forgot to add the sig and its content in the previous post
and now only added the content without the sig delimiter.

-- now if he would be nice enough to post the delimiter without the content
in his next post we will all sleep better tonight.
