Hi,

I'm running both antispyware and NOD32 for while. Last
night NOD32 detected virus, and referenced to MS anti
spyware. I dont know if the virus infected my anti
spyware or this is just cause anti spyware wanted to
access the infected file.

Virus alert info:

File: C:\Windows\System32\h@tkeysh@@k.dll
Threat: Win32/Keylogger.Hotkeyshook.A virus
Comment: Event occurred at an attempt to access the file
by the application:
C:\Program File\Microsoft
Antispyware\GIANTAntiSpywareMain.exe
 
I think you are misreading this alert. The virus is in the file
C:\Windows\System32\h@tkeysh@@k.dll

Nod32 happened to examine that file, because Microsoft Antispyware was
opening it--presumably because of a scheduled or manual scan of your system.

This does not look like a false positive--this looks like something you need
to get fixed fast.

Did Microsoft Antispyware detect this object as part of its scan?

What action did Nod32 take?

This is a pretty frequent occurrence. Nod32 is examining files "on access."
In this case, Microsoft Antispyware also examined the file as part of a
scan, and that allowed Nod32 to take a look at it. If you had done a full
system scan with Nod32, it would have found it on its own.
