It records all keystrokes without user consent and thus makes it possible to spy on the user. SmartPCKeylogger is connected to RebrandSoftware Malware and Keyloggers.
Removal Instructions:
Autorun:
Please use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd), RunAlyzer (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=runalyzer) or msconfig.exe to remove the following autorun entries.
Entries named "MSRegScan" and pointing to "<$PROGRAMFILES>\SPK Demo\SPKDemo".
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.
Products that have a key or property named "{6AA39623-CEDB-4AEA-BE4C-104C7E93502C}".
