Actmon PC & Internet Monitoring Commercial Key Logger
came out in the scan on two of my XP Pro machines as a
severe threat. The infected file is windows\system32
\unzdll.dll. I went ahead and cleaned the file. Was this
an error? If so what can I do to recover? I have always
used Spybot and it never showed this file to be a threat.
 
Files with this name could be either innocent or malicious. Have you
checked the quarantine area, to see whether it's stored there?

Hi Bill
I checked and the files were not saved in quarantine.
Perhaps a system restore will bring them back to both
machines? No problems noted on either machine yet.

Thanks
 
System restore will definitely work. It'd be good for you to try to pin
down what third-party product you've knowingly installed relates to that
file. Perhaps there will be copyright information in the file itself that
will help make that clear.

You DON'T want to have a keylogger in place on your machine, so I'd be very
cautious about leaving that file in place if you can't satisfy yourself as
to its origin. Renaming it would be a minimal action to take.
 
I found out what the file is from. It comes with AOPA
Airport Directory. This is a false positive. Also I get
false positives from Jeppesen Flightmap software. MS
Antispyware identifies it as Radlight with four registry
keys.
 
Great. Listing such products here may help. In addition, if you have
contacts with the vendor, you can point them to:

process)

which has a link to a form to help possibly get the issue taken care of.
