I recently did a scan for spyware using adaware and it showed that I was infected with Win32 Monitor.HotKeysHook. After deleting it from there I scanned my laptop again and it showed up again. Can someone please help me remove the said keylogger? I also ran a scan on Spybot but that didn't show the keylogger. Here's my HijackThis logfile - I could'nt find anything that resembled the keylogger. If I missed anything in the log file please let me know. I appreciate any kind of help: Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 18:52:19, on 31/08/2009 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.16876) Boot mode: Normal Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\Ati2evxx.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\aswUpdSv.exe C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware\AAWService.exe C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashServ.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\AppleMobileDeviceService.exe C:\Program Files\Symantec\LiveUpdate\ALUSchedulerSvc.exe C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\ConfigFree\CFSvcs.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\cisvc.exe C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\VPN Client\cvpnd.exe C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jqs.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7DEBUG\MDM.EXE C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashMaiSv.exe C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashWebSv.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\cidaemon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\Ati2evxx.exe C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE C:\WINDOWS\AGRSMMSG.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\dla\tfswctrl.exe C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel\atiptaxx.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wuauclt.exe C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\E-KEY\CeEKey.exe C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\Tvs\TvsTray.exe C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\TouchPad\TPTray.exe C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\TOSHIBA Zooming Utility\SmoothView.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\ZoomingHook.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\TPSMain.exe C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\TOSHIBA Controls\TFncKy.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\TCtrlIOHook.exe C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\Touch and Launch\PadExe.exe C:\Program Files\Apoint2K\Apoint.exe C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\GrooveMonitor.exe C:\WINDOWS\VM_STI.EXE C:\PROGRA~1\ALWILS~1\Avast4\ashDisp.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\TPSBattM.exe C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jusched.exe C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\TOSCDSPD\toscdspd.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe C:\Program Files\Toshiba\Bluetooth Toshiba Stack\TosBtMng.exe C:\Program Files\Apoint2K\Apntex.exe C:\Program Files\Toshiba\Bluetooth Toshiba Stack\TosA2dp.exe C:\Program Files\Toshiba\Bluetooth Toshiba Stack\TosBtHsp.exe C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\igfxsrvc.exe C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\MsnMsgr.Exe C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Contacts\wlcomm.exe C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe C:\Program Files\Spybot -
