Threat Details:
Categories:
keylogger
Description:
LocalKeyloggerPro installs to the system directory and runs silently in the background. It records all keystrokes without the user's awareness or consent about this. For instance it makes screen shots every few time units. All data will be saved in its program directory and/or will be sent via the internet. It creates Autorun entries in the registry in order to be launched on each Windows startup. LocalKeyloggerPro is able to block applications, also anti spyware applications! There is no real privacy policy given on the product.
Removal Instructions:
Desktop:
Please remove the following files from your desktop.
To check where they are pointing to, right-click them and choose "Properties" from the context menu appearing.

Entries named "RKLG Startup" and pointing to "<$PROGRAMFILES>\Local Keylogger Pro\klg.exe".
Installed Software List:
You can try to uninstall products with the names listed below; for items identified by other properties or to avoid malware getting active again on uninstallation, use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) or RunAlyzer (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=runalyzer) to locate and get rid of these entries.
