H@tKeysH@@k.DLL

Hi all

I just completed a scan using Adaware, and noticed the following H@tKeysH@@k.DLL was listed, I have run scans and removed this before but it seems resiliant.

I have heard it was related to Opera which I did have installed once but for not long and I have removed all traces of it.

I run IE7 Rc1 and no other browser with Sygate Firewall and AVG Free anti virus.

IS this something to be worried about?

Nothing wrong with Opera!

Maybe this will help http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/p...80848#Research

Are you using a Game Trainer? http://my.opera.com/jor/blog/show.dml/1033

P.S AVG is crap mate.

Yes I have a trainer for grand theft auto san andreas, but I rarely use it.

I agree nothing wrong with Opera I just disliked the program, and moved to IE7 Rc1, and am happy with it

Looks like it's the Trainer then according to those links. I'd dump it asap.

I think their saying the trainer logs the key strokes but that might not generally mean anything bad in this case.

Here is a screenshot of the trainer it works great in game, and I noted once I run it and pressed a few trainer options the file turned up again in system32 directory like normal.

Just hope it's harmless then. Have you tried googling the trainer to see if you get a bad result about it?

Yes and I did not get a single hit on it.
