Hello ramesh5235,

By their very nature keyloggers work in stealth mode. Have you run a scan yet, if so what was the result?

By the way this topic was posted in the beta forum, which version of Spybot-S&D did you install? :)

Best regards,

I've installed Spybot-S&D 2.0.6.0 - build 20111005,
yes i ran a full system scan and there was no threats found during scan, only few tracing cookies found...
If keylogger runing in stealthy mode then... any ways to find or spybot can detect???

Why do you suspect a key logger, what kind of .exe did you try to open? Do you have an anti virus program installed and how is the computer running?
