    I don't. But if I did, my standard procedure is a nuke and pave for any computer with reinstalled stuff on it.

    That's going to be a nice bit of marketing for them... if anyone outside the computer industry actually notices.

    I don't know which one is more worrying, the fact that the dude who found this "keylogger" is apparently a CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) or RC spreading purple lies.
