i just got a keylogger titled PDM.Keylogger from a game called Duke Nukem Forever as the game is legit as it works but somehow Steam i was using for the game i don't know if anyone can identify this as my anti-virus detected it somehow and i read that it is a false Positive

well first i installed the Gaming Platform Steam which came on the CD of Duke Nukem Forever at first when i played the game it simply detected the Dukeforever.exe file as it's only part of a game that i got for christmas late last year my spybot program did not detect it but my Kaspersky Pure AntiVirus did what should i do
 
I'm going to dredge this back up since I have Kaspersky and I think I have the reason behind it.

I'm doing some C++ programming to unify keyboard, mouse and game controllers into a simple event driven interface, so I'm bypassing directinput and using raw input instead. It interfaces more closely to the HID/USB subsystem and as a result, every time I start a debug session, it trips Kaspersky's PDM.Keylogger warning.

So, you don't have a keylogger, rather your game is using raw input rather than directinput.

However, always see what is tripping the warning. If it's an app you don't recognize, be very wary.
