Here's what I did:
1) Reformatted my PC using my Toshiba system recovery disk that came with my computer (cable unplugged)
2) Installed and turned on Zone Alarm
3) Plugged in cable
4) Downloaded all Windows updates
5) Installed and Ran Spyware Doctor, and Spyware Doctor reported an infections:
Application.Keystroke Spy
A legitimate application. Under certain circumstances, however, some people may find it undesirable.
File
c:\windows\unvise32.exe
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Broadband\Remove Desktop Dialer.lnk
Startup Program
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\SharedDLLs, C:\Windows\unvise32.exe =1
Registry Value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\SharedDLLs, C:\Windows\unvise32.exe
I am running on Vista Home.
Is it possible that the above is a false positive? I really don't expect to see any infection after spending 4 hours on a system reformat. I didn't see this problem in my previous reformat. Yes I've removed it using Spyware Doctor, but I have sensitive info on my PC so I just wanted to dig further to make sure that I am safe.
Many thanks for your help.
