Hi there, I used the demo version of "Anti-keylogger" and "Spy Cop", to detect keyloggers.

Now Anti-Keylogger found one file:

c:\Documents and Settings\Owner\application data\Motive\Acme\plugin\log\pchbtn.log

Inside at the "plugin" folder while backtracking there are other various folders, and I found inside that one had "PC Doctoer" and "Solo" (as in Solo Antivirus) documents. Programs I had downloaded a while ago and got rid of.

Anywyas, my first question is...

1. What exactly is a keylogger? Is it someone sitting at home watching me type. Im worried that It may be a friend (none in particular, just paranoia maybe?) reading personal emails, or even stealing my crediit card info, as I recently used it online.

2. Is this file anyway malicious?

3. Is it related to those programs I mentioned earlier (PC Doctoor, and Solo?

Any help would be much appreciated, on this topic?! Im kinda cluesless.

BTW; I use Stop-Sign from eAnthology, and it detects no keyloggers?
