That's what I thought too ... but when I looked at what was likely to be
found with these issues non of the other traces were found. Unfortunately
auditmypc doesn't give any detail, but the problems described are listed on
numerous other sites (for k.exe) when a whole pile of extra files and
registry entries were listed as associated to k.exe. Unfortunately none of
those files or registry entries were present on my system (and k.exe was not
actually present). There was a process called K which referenced a file in
my temp folder called k.exe but it had already been deleted.
To check again I have downloaded SpyWare Doctor which includes keylogger
detection, but how many of these products can you run before your system
becomes completely unusable - and you spend all your time running constant
scans ?
I should have said I am also behind a router firewall. I have a wireless
network running with WEP encryption (one network device doesn't support
WPA), but I live in a remote rural area where outside hacking is extremely
unlikely.
Cheers
Carol
