It's the free version of Google Earth that I'm running. When I deleted the keylogger, Google Earth would no longer function. I've sent a message to CounterSpy and been told that it "might" just be a false positive as you've mentioned. Their technical department should be contacting me before day's end. Meanwhile, I'm not about to dump the program nor am I about to log into any financial institution. Thanks for the replies.How do you know that it was Google Earth that installed it ?
I'm using 3.0.0464 and none of my Security tools have found or indicated a keylogger is installed. Are you running the Free version of Google Earth or one of the paid versions. Are you sure the AB System was really on the PC - many of these tools will sometimes give you a "False Positive" result.

Yesterday I installed Google Earth (beta) on my computer. This morning I ran CounterSpy and low and behold it discovered a commercial keylogger (AB System) placed there by Google Earth. At first I quarantined it but then I decided to remove it. My anti-spyware rated it a serious threat. Does anyone have any information on this? I've tried getting answers from CounterSpy but so far no success.
