Recommended keylogger-cleaning software.

[Advocate]

As topic says, can anyone recommend me a good keylogger cleaner? I apparently got myself keylogged after letting a friend of mine who recently moved here use my PC to check his WoW account. Nothing's missing yet, but I'm starting to get paranoid.

I'm currently running Spybot S&D and AVG Free Edition, but I have a feeling that Spybot may be compromised in some manner - it randomly stops checks, saying that the scan was aborted by the user, even though I didn't touch a thing.

AVG says my hosts file under system32/drivers/etc has been changed, but apparently doesn't do anything to fix the problem.

Help please?

Back up your data and reinstall the machine.

Ugh. That bad? No other option available?

Maybe a hijackthis log will show something we can help you get rid of, but a reinstall is the only sure way to get everything.

Alright, posted in the sticky. Thanks.

If I knew my comp was inflicted with some keylogger, I wouldn't dick around with removal tools that may or may not work. Data (=Firefox & Thunderbird profiles) backup to next partition and nuke the site from orbit, there's nothing else there as needs rescuing. All otehr data is on non-OS partition, so while reinstalling all the software and games would be a bitch and a half, but at least there would be no doubt of the end result.

Nuke from orbit. Once the system has been compromised, you don't know what else has been installed, or that you've managed to get everything.

I once heard about a LAN party where some guy installed keyloggers on everyone's computer while they were sleeping. Only got caught because one of the computer's web browser was set to open the last-viewed web page when started, and the user got really suspicious after seeing a keylogger website come up.
