    Smile Possible False Positive? Sun Java/Perfect Keylogger

    After doing a routine java update, spybot detected and terminated perfect keylogger.

    30/04/2009 22:04:34 Encountered and terminated PerfectKeylogger in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jqs.exe!

    I'm running XP Pro SP3
    Use Firefox 3.0.10

    The install was run through the Sun Java client update feature. It was Java 6 Update 13.

    The install seemed to complete ok afterwards.

    Am i safe to assume this was a false positive?

    Please make sure that you have all Spybot S&D updates, then restart your computer via Windows startmenu - shutdown - restart.

    Then try running the jqs.exe again it should not get detected as Perfect Keylogger again.
