ktd32.atm SECURITY WARNING

So, through a series of retarded clicking decisions on my part, I wound up searching for the most recent files that were created on my PC. I feared that something that should not have installed itself, installed itself.

Sure enough, i found my precious ktd32.atm in my windows directory. I googled it, and found it has the potential to work along with keyloggers on a pc. SO! I went to my desktop, typed out a few choice words, opened the ktd32.atm file with wordpad, AND VIOLA! There was all of my text i just typed.

I suggest that everyone take a look at this file, and make sure that it isnt logging any keystrokes.


Lousy effers, and their dirty dirty tricks...

Glad you caught it before you put in any personal information, keyloggers suck.

Did you have the Anti Spyware beta from microsoft installed by chance?

It is, I have found it to be far superior to adaware and spybot combined - I was asking because I was curious if it was capable of catching the installation of the keylogger.

It provides realtime protection and scans automatically at 2AM each day (optional)
