Is FamilyKeyLogger part of cisvc.exe ?

While running TuneUp Utilities '06 it is showing in the process mgr that a
process called FamilyKeyLogger is sucking some memory. After some research,
I've read this is considered spyware from SpyArsenal and it resides in
cisvc.exe which is a Microsoft process. I did'nt manually install it and no
one else has used the PC since I purchased it in Oct '04. Does anyone know if
Microsoft is putting this on as part of their OS? Any info would be great,
thanks.

No. Microsoft is NOT including Keyloggers in the OS

Keyloggers are Trojans and can lead to theft of currency or worse, identity theft !


Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe

To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close

Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }

NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.

C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.

You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.

When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm
