koolkiller1 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Theres a problem, there is a file on my laptop (C:\windows\system32\DWSPY32.DLL that is being picked up by Emsisoft Mal-wareScanner and it is telling me the file labbled DWSPY32.DLL is a Trace.File.HackerWacker!A2. When I go to their site, it gives says the file is..."HackerWacker Software is a division of Streiff Information Services; a private software company based in Pittsburgh, PA - USA. At HackerWacker it make software that informs us of how other users are using and abusing our computer(s) through logging, screen captures, key stroke logging, url logging, email reporting and real-time network monitoring. All of its software allows us to try before you buy and features its web site features free software downloads. It have solutions for consumers, schools, colleges, businesses, libraries and Internet Cafes to help with monitoring kids, students, employees, the public and others. It also provides its software for self-help accountability groups.(http://www.emsisoft.com/en/malware/?Trace.File.HackerWacker!A2) and well thats all Emsisoft tells me. I have tried to removing this file with Emsisoft Scanner but the infection keeps coming back. I also searched DWSPY32.DLL and found that some antivirus can give false reading, and that the file is part of DesaWare's SpyWorks, which is legitimate programming tools. I would call this a false alert but the fact is I don't use or had installed any of spyworks programs. And also I just reformatted my laptop with windows 7 yesterday. Does any one know if this file is a real keylogger or is just some random file being picked up as a false alert? Can I send the file to some one that can like look at the coding and tell me if it is a threat or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTrendsNET Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Why don't you just upload the file to http://www.virustotal.com ? It probably would also be a good idea to report back here with what it found (if anything). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Orlando Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 You can try to send the file to VirusTotal and see the results. You can also send the file to support@immunet.com and ask for an analysis. You can also post the file here if it is not too large. Check in the task manager if the process is running, but I think it's a malware and not a FP, but it can not be excluded. Orlando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
