I did a Google search and checked the virus encyclopedia at Symantec.com.Nothing shows up.Keylog huh?That sounds a lot like a keylogger to me!If it is a keylogger,that's spy tool to monitor and record keystrokes on your keyboard.Have you contacted McAfee to ask exactly what this is?They detected it, so I'm sure they know what it is.I would try that.Hope this helps you.JB

Mcafee is supposed to have a forum also.I can't find the address though.If you can find that forum,you may get an answer a little quicker.Regards.JB
