Re: tspy - Trojan keylogger

Cheers for the replies


I ran HiJackThis after the Housecall scan/clean, & it was fine.



I've now gone back to using ZoneAlarm, instead of the XP SP2 firewall. Although, I'm now using the free ZA rather than ZA Pro (have no need of ZA Pro's anti-spyware scanning, due to having Spybot, Adaware & now also CounterSpy; & have no need of ZA Pro's "OS Firewall", due to Kaspersky's Protection & Proactive Defence, and now also CounterSpy's Active Protection).



I found the logs etc. for the Housecall scan, & have attached them, in case anyone would be kind enough to have a look through them.


The names of the tspy keylogging trojans found are "TSPY_CIMUZ" & "TSPY_AGENT.TQ".


A select quote from the log:

The only other mentions of "TSPY_CIMUZ" & "TSPY_AGENT.TQ" I can find are related to them being marked for cleaning.


So, it seems to me, that the only actual instances of "TSPY_CIMUZ" & "TSPY_AGENT.TQ" were a few registry entries. It doesn't seem that there were any files or anything else, just a few registry entries (unless I've missed something from the logs?).

This makes me think that perhaps I didn't actually ever have a full tspy infection - maybe it was just a partial infection, with only a few registry entries successfully added, while perhaps the actual files etc were blocked by Kaspersky or something during the installation attempt (I don't remember any tspy related files - or anything else - ever being found during any scans. Just the reg entries discovered by Housecall).

That seem plausible?
