Categories:

Description:
SpyOnePro is a keylogger that spies on the users working behavior. It records every string typed, creates screenshots and logs visited websites. While doing that it runs silently in the background.
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 "sservices" and pointing to "<$SYSDIR>\sopdir\services.exe".

Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.

The file at "<$SYSDIR>\sopdir\Sodef.dat".
