Counterspy said I have SpyKeySpy keylogger on my home PC but...
Advertisements [?]
I used a 30 day trial of CounterSpy but never bought. It was still useful because it would sometimes popup with the name of something and I could use Trend Micro Housecall or AdAware or manually remove afer googling the name.

So yesterday it popped up saying I had SpyKeySpy, but being unpaid wouldn't do anthing about it. So I ran TrendMicro Housecall which found nothing. AdAware reported nothing but cookies.

I searched both hardrives for any files with part of SpyKeySpy names including hidden & system, nothing. Searched the registry in RegEdit for

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SpyKeySpy
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SoftArtStudio\sks32_11
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\UDShellR32
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wise Solutions\Wise Installation System\Repair\C:\Program Files\sks32\INSTALL.LOG


Nothing. Did CounterSpy lie to me to try to get me to buy?
