Help Deleting Keylogger

Do you guys have any guides that I could follow to reformat?

I went to that magic jelly bean site to download the xp key viewer and my firewall blocked it saying it has a trojan. Is this because it goes through the registry to find the key? I guess it's fine to download?

Before formatting, make sure that everything important is backed up. Consider formatting a permanent way of deletion. Once the data is gone, it cannot be recovered by normal means.

Do not attempt to re-install Windows until after you get your key and you are sure you have a CD to install Windows.

Formatting is simple. Just turn on your PC and insert the WindowsXP CD. If the CD does not boot, enter your BIOS and set boot priority to CD first. At the setup screen when it asks you where to install windows, Delete all partitions you have.

Next, create a new partition. It will ask you how big you want it, so choose a size. You can create multiple partiitons if you like. Install Windows to C:\.

When you select to install to C:, you will have the following options:

"Quick Format ... with NTFS"
"Quick Format ... with FAT32"
"Format ... with NTFS"
"Format ... with FAT32"

Choose the "Format ... with NTFS". If your partition is too large, it will take some time to do this. After formatting, just follow the wizard and Windows will install. Then it is just like you bought a fresh PC.

After Windows installs and you install your Firewall & Antivirus and you have internet access, you should download eraser. It is a tool that wipes files. This is better than deleting them, but this is more permanent than a Format.

After installing this tool, wipe all your free space using the 1 pass method. If you have very large partitions, it will take a long time. Most important is to wipe the free space on your C:\. This will ensure that everything on that partition is gone. Also, make sure that you disable the scheduler tool. You do not need anything except your Antivirus and firewall starting when Windows boots. For instance, my PC boots with 17 processes running.

 

Kk thanks for your guys's help. I found that my settings in bitdefender weren't set up properly so I changed them and managed to delete 1/3 of the keylogger files. The problem with the other two files is they are stuck in the recycle bin where I cannot scan them. Is there another way I could access the recycle bin. But I'm still going to reformat to be safe.

 

Nvm it detected all the keyloggers and removed them.
