Re: WinXP sp 3 contains keylogger?



No as it tells you to disable AV software otherwise it can cause conflicts,
as yet I've not contacted Norton but will do so.

NIS is NOT reliable. It's difficult to believe anything it reports.
IF ctfmon.exe was infected prior to the application of SP3, then NIS
*should have been reporting* it as infected then.

Since this issue occurred after applying SP3, then I'd be willing to bet
my house that it's a False Positive.

Frequently asked questions about Ctfmon.exe

Was NIS actively monitoring the system during the download and
installation of SP3 ?
Have you checked Symantec's site to see if this has been reported to them
?

Since I've downloaded sp 3 Norton Internet Security says that
c:\\windows\system32\ctfmon.exe has a keylogger, is this a false
positive? If I remove sp 3 the keylogger also goes so I know it's nothing
else.
