Hey thanks all Glad to hear from yous again! Yes life is life and gets very busy. Fixing computers takes up most of my time, especially with the antivirus variants hitting so many people. Plus my daughter has had 6 skin cancer surgeries, she's only 6 years old imho, but no chemo needed or anything yet and she's a trooper so we're very lucky. But yep, I still do graphics on the side when I can, learning new things. Been into Blender 3D mainly, what a learning process! I saw this, Thank you, glad you still like them lol. That said, I couldn't go without leaving another graphic then.... I made it quickly since I have to leave tonight so forgive the rough edges. I will try to stop in from time to time to say hi. Take care all, Paul

Just thought I'd drop in while reporting a FP, update my profile (needed a major dusting) and say Hi. Been so busy with things, it's tough to keep up. Hope all is going well for everyone. Cheers, Paul

Ok, thank you, much appreciated. Paul

Heyas, Normally Snapfiles replies to my reports when I find something wrong with a software on their site. This time, they have not responded and could mean this is a false positive which only MBAM is picking up on currently. The scan is below, the file is attached.

Ok, Snapfiles said this is a false positive so here's the log in developer mode... Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.10 Database version: 594 Scan type: Quick Scan Objects scanned: 29204 Time elapsed: 2 minute(s), 4 second(s) Memory Processes Infected: 0 Memory Modules Infected: 0 Registry Keys Infected: 0 Registry Values Infected: 0 Registry Data Items Infected: 0 Folders Infected: 0 Files Infected: 1 Memory Processes Infected: (No malicious items detected) Memory Modules Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Keys Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Values Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Data Items Infected: (No malicious items detected) Folders Infected: (No malicious items detected) Files Infected: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\MovieSnapshot.exe (Spyware.WOW) -> No action taken.

Well, thanks all Paul

Just stating that mine does work and does alert on both counts.. I attached images.. this should help narrow down the fact that it does work on some systems. I run XPpro , all updated, etc... Cheers, Paul

Hi Fred, Working great here, no hiccups, great app Paul

Thanks for the reply I understand about malware detection methods and have no issue with such but with keyloggers specifically. The detection methods are quite open to the public and for the slightly more savvy perhaps some simple tools will tell you if there is a keylogger or not, then yes, there are others. The time I would think to not divulge information is if someone is at a work place and keylogging is considered to keep track of activities that shouldn't be going on, then again, if there was a good IT and such, they wouldn't have access to means to find a keylogger anyway. Not all keyloggers are malware or considered as such. Like with anything, keyloggers are not bad in themselves if used for the RIGHT reasons, but anything can be used for ill intent. So as I read this, it seems that keyloggers are being classified as malware. Not all of them are, there are some keyloggers dropped with harmful intent, fine, but if your firewall is used against you say to conceal logs, is it malware? As well, you said I don't recall that being asked, simply how you can tell if there is a keylogger on a system. That's not a dig at the underground, that's a question many ask and there are many methods that are not "revealing information" in order to do this. Also That wasn't my point though. The point was, it's not at all concealed as to how to find and remove or even use a keylogger. So using your above statement, wouldn't it be better to point out 5 known good tools for eg... than letting a user browse for something that may in fact lead to this? After re-reading, I don't think the person was asking for the malware fighters to release some secret info, I think it was a simple question and could have been answered without revealing specific methods that are used by malware fighters. But anyway, thanks for the feedback The above said, I'll leave it there and understand where you are coming from too. Thanks again Dakeyras, Paul

Nice. I'll have to remember this when I get my site up and running.

Since I'm not actually helping do anything, instead, I had a couple of questions as I read replies. I'm not bashing, just curious. That said, Dakeyras, I am not picking on you, just asking as part of what you stated... I am trying to word this as not to sound bad, because I certainly don't mean it that way. I am questioning this answer though. One, I don't understand how this could not be for the general public, I can send my 9 year old on Google and he can find means to use and remove keyloggers in 5 min. The detection methods are numerous, some questionable, but very easy to find, and legal. And once again, I mean no offense but those who distribute baddies, are typically one step ahead of anyone who has to do with security, they wait for US to catch up, then they have 3 new methods of distributing bad stuff by then. Anything we know, they do to. So once again, I am not slamming your answer, but wondering if there is a reason for this specific question being dodged is all. Perhaps a Malwarebytes policy or something. Thanks Paul

Welcome, saffionline Paul

Thanks , that's what I was wondering. Sounds like you are loaded to the till in security, loll. It's too bad you couldn't find someone willing to download a bunch of things for you, put to CD\DVD or whatever and then you would at least have some main setup files. That's what I used to do, then all I had to worry about were updates. If you just post or browse, it's not at all bad, but yep, try to download!! You can grow old waiting for a download, lol. Cheers, Paul

LMAO. And thanks for the info @ lurkingatu2 Thanks. I would still use a different spyware\adware tool along side of an anti-virus type, mainly, if they are good at being an anti-virus, doesn't always mean they are good at the spyware\adware if you know what I mean. I am one of those who like non-integrated tools as much as possible and over the years, I still think they do a better job on their own. You on dial up? I truly feel bad for you. I know what that's like. Well, in some ways it was still better than nothing , if only slightly, lol. Cheers, Paul
