Vista - keylogger

keylogger

I've found the key logger that's been at my system for awhile now.
I suspect the poison ivy Trojan. Many programs can not detect it.

I tried installing avira that's supposedly one of the programs that can detect.
Luckily I kept trend running as attempted to install avira. Because 1st thing
it tried doing was replace the system file setup.exe.

Neither here nor there, but I find anything replacing system files as
suspicious.

Anyway's it's using taskmger.exe and creating a text taskmger file showing
245kb of keys I've pressed, telling me it's throwing these packets out very
often.

Since I just had an identity theft incident [in California], everything adds
up.

But sfc can not scan taskmger.exe. It comes up with 'Windows Resource
Protection could not perform the requested operation.'

I doubt replacing taskmgr will cure the problem. I don't happen to have aspare
taskmger.exe laying around.

Trend micro, Mcaffee, and symantec have nothing on this Trojan. Simple way to
check if you're infected [using Firefox] is see if 1 or more instances off FF
[or IE] is in your task manager at boot up. Has your mouse gone south ? things
really sluggish ? Those are my symptoms.

So while I figure out where this thing is hiding, and how to kill it, howdo I
get another copy of taskmgr ?
