Possible Keylogger
« on: February 20, 2011, 03:51:39 AM »
Hello, i have lastest free version of avast... and a few minunets ago i was looking for downloading something on mediafire, suddenly, avast aborted connection with the site, and showed me spyware alert, showing a possible keylogger threat it says exactly... Threat: MSIL:KeyLogger-P [Spy] its currently on web scan log... should i delete that, or move to chest? and what should i do? did avast stopped it from entering my computer? or should i run a system scan? i already did quick scan... but im not sure if i have to do a full scan... i need help please, and if this is the wrong forum please tell me where it should be, this is my first post

Welcome to the forums Pain3434,

Nothing to worry about, avast! handled it well [either by deleting or moving to chest]. There's no more need to run a full scan unless you opened the keylogger.

In case a problem surfaces, just post back here. :)
Windows 7 (64-bit) Home Premium SP1
avast! 9 RC1
