desktopsurveil

I picked up the trial version of system mechanic 10 days ago.. it worked very well and improved my PC performance but i wasnt expecting it to find any spyware. I was shocked when it found a keylogger by the name of desktopsurveil! . I have kaspersky, ad-aware, spyware terminator, a squared all running in my pc but they couldnt find it! (all with latest definitions)
I even tried SUPERantispyware to no avail!
Could this be a false positive from system mechanic? inciting me to buy?
The problem is that even after it disinfects, after another boot and another search the keylogger is back!

Google search shows norton identifies the keylogger but i think it is mistaking it for desktop surveillance from omniquad which can only be manually installed! (which i havent!)
I anyway tried norton 360 but it just refused to install on my pc (network driver error)

Any help? I also found that this spyware is related to junfan.exe or something from a program but i didnt install it at all!

It's probably a false positive. Which is the exact location of the infected file? Upload it to virustotal.com and see. You shouldn't rely too much on those anti spywares that come with this optimization softwares.

 

Thanks for your reply
I do not use it as my spyware scanner.
i have kaspersky and spyware terminator for real time protection along with a squared and ad aware for on demand.
Just when i clicked optimize it said that there is one spyware than can motentially damage your comp. I looked for where it was but it just shows blank!! I thinking more and more of this being a false positive.
I have attached an image so you can understand better

If you searched for that kind of threat and there's not any trace of it in your computer it must be a false positive.

 

Right so i scan for threats and found one but it doesnt have any location as per the scanner.
Kaspersky, Avira, Spyware terminator, threatfire, a squared, Ad aware, SUPERanti spyware -- i have checked all of them but they didnt find anything!

I think it really is a false positive now
Interestingly, sypthon or the system mechanic site gives details of this spyware and rank it as the number one malware (left column)

BUMP!

 

That doesnt work. The program itself doesnt work and i dont know how to remove it! It is only an exe launch or an install?
It just opens some script thats it.
Man... now i AM worried... i guess the last try i can do is try to install norton 2008 as they do recognize it but they think its a manually installed program!
Thanks for the help

 

Thanks for your reply
What do you mean by System Mechanic folder? The program files folder of system mechanic or the infected folder that doesnt exist
have a look

I did the online scanner and that didnt find a thing!
Any other ideas?

 

Thanks buddy.
I recon its something with system mechanic as after i installed it.. my comp went beserk.. sometimes it switched off by itself.. started by itself and even gave sometimes blue screen saying irql not less or equal!
Bye bye sytem mechanic!!!

 

I already use revo uninstaller for uninstalling.
I will do that now and will tell you how it went, whether my comp stopped booting up/ shutting down on its own free will.

 

Ok.. system mechanic out.. problems are out!
i havent had any blue screen errors, the computer doesnt startup and shutdown at its own free will and it infact is faster!
Thank god i removed this useless application!
My advice : try glary utilities, an enhanced free version of this apps that works!
