Thought you like to know
I have recently bought the above software, Started downloading updates and by accident found supremtec`s beyond keylogger in there software license`s, A keylogger, for those who do not know, records all your keystrokes that you type in, ie: bank details etc
I sent a strongly worded email to Norton about this, to ask if they use this product and they will not answer me. If this is true, they are basicly spying on you. I formatted my hard drive, 3 times and put Windows and Norton on only, each time, It kept appearing, I did`nt realise it was Norton at this stage. Then went and bought Zone Alarm Security suite, Low level formatted again and then put Windows and Zone Alarm on instead, the keylogger was gone. I then loaded all other software on, and checked each one before loading, no logger.
YOUR ANTI SPY WARE AND VIRUS PRODUCTS WILL NOT PICK THIS UP.
The irony is, a freebee norton spyware scan product that sits on most Browsers detected it. The big guns didnt

I am using BTinternet with yahoo.....and I found the Norton spyware scan free bee, by clicking Mail, from the toolbar, then, next to the mail icon is BTyahoo, click the little arrow to pull down a menu, choose My Services, then choose BTyahoo download centre, and it will be in there....I have also seen it on Internet explorer, when I upgraded my explorer to V7. But I have just looked and the icon is Empty, maybe it`s empty cause I`ve already downloaded it from BT, I don`t know.
I have spybot, spy sweeper, spyware doctor and Zone Alarm, they did not detect it at all............It was only detected by this freebee,
I hope you find this useful, and that you don`t find that you`ve got the keylogger,
cause it`s a BUGGER to remove

And I might add, Norton system works or Internet Security will NOT detect it either.

Norton is one of the worst you can use and buy. It is not a good antivirus since it is so popular.
People writing the viruses know that so they base the virus to work around Norton detections.

Did you uninstalled the norton 2006 everything it says in your control panel. Maybe you uninstalled your msi exe it went with it. Go to your norton site / find it, download it... Then it will let you reinstall it...or you can ask a tech on the norton site - they will help you....
