Open www.google.com type in the search box kapersky - click go, it's the first in the list. Beneath the kaperky labs links are reviews by various websites.
Fungli, your friend is wrong. The Ps2.sys file isn't a mouse driver. Perhaps he's confusing it with Ps2.exe, which is a driver for HP multimedia keyboards. Contacting Kaspersky support is good advice, and I would run another scan or two as well. You might want to download Ad Aware SE, Spybot Search & Destroy and update them. Next shut the computer down for 30 seconds or so boot into Safe mode by pressing the F8 key once a second during startup. After the computer has finished restarting, click the Start buttton, right click on My Computer, left click on Properties, and the click the System Restore tab, and, finally, disable system restore and re-scan the computer.
I think the file in question was most likely infected, but Kaspersky probably cleaned it for you. Still, never hurts to double check.
thank you for your advise, Slgrieb. i will download Ad Aware SE, Spybot Search & Destroy and update them later.
the Kaspersky support replied me back. the message at below
Hi, The file you listed is a genuine keyboard driver so is safe to allow. As
scans have also shown the system to be clean you are ok to have allowed them
all.
When service pack 2 for our products are released they will have a list built in
of known keyboard drivers which can be flagged as keyloggers. This way users
won't get the alerts.
i scanned my computer last night again and everything is fine. i received the email from Kaspersky today and i can relax now!!! I think....
thank you for everyone's help and advise. feel good to come to this forum!
:wave:
Anytime Fungli :)
I have downloaded and started to use Kaspersky Internet security. I shall be using over the next month before I purchase a licence, I shall keep on using Spy Sweeper and AVG anti virus scanners.
I have had so many problems with Norton Internet security 2007 I have had to un-install it and reinstall INS 2006 which in my book knocks spots off the 2007 version.
I also upgrade my Webroot Spy-sweeper to include a Anti Virus scanner.
Time to contact Symantec for refunds
Terry.
I have just changed my Internet security suite from Norton Internet Security 2006 to the following "ZoneAlarm Security Suite".Quote:

I am well impressed. A top product.

Nice of you to follow up on your experiences, Trainshed, but what happened with Kaspersky? When you have the time, I think we'd all appreciate more detail. Thanks!
I tried "Kaspersky Internet Security Suite V6.0, It is a very powerful program but I found that it strips some of the software off essential parts of the program which made them stop working properly, it even got to a point where the XP OS system became unstable to use.Quote:

The cost was a factor as Kaspersky was about £40 GBP where the Zone Alarm was £30 GBP but it gave two licenses for two PC's.
I hope that is of use to everyone.
I use Avast! in my office and AVG at home but in both cases I run a free online scanning from sites like Infected or not or Bit Defender once a month.
About anti spywares I use Spy Sweeper :)
If you want to check the sites, here are the links:
Avast!
AVG free edition
Infected Or Not
Bit Defender
Cheers
:thumbs: I recommend that you now upgrade your Spy Sweeper so that it has a anti-virus scanner with it, as it is worth the investment to do that along with other scanners that you have installed. :thumbs:Quote:

:thumbs: :thumbs: I have now be using Zone Alarm Internet security suite for just over a month and I can recommend it as it total kills Norton in the performance as the count to-date for attempted intrusion stands at 25,351 since I installed the software, 723 of which were high rated intrusions. :thumbs: :thumbs:
:knife: As for spyware that have been treated from e-mails the count is 5.:knife:
For many, many years I have used most anti-spyware packages and I came to several conclusions:
1. Pre-XP sp2 (I am currently running XP-64), it was always necessary to run these types of programs.
2. All my present and past customers either:
a) have children whom the parent(s) do not monitor their computer activity (thus leading to inevitable and various computer software/OS issues);
b) themselves indulge in sites and/or emails which also inevitabley bring on computer software/OS issuses.
3. Stay out of sites that potentially bring software/OS aches and pains.
4. Have at least two email accounts: One private (for only the closest of family and friends) and One public (for the rest); never, ever give out the private account.
5. Anti-Spyware programs in a few cases brought on more issues than they solve. (NOTE: Do you think it is possible these anti-spyware packages are telling you the truth? Maybe, just maybe they only report you have spyware; something to think about)
Concluding: these un-refutable truths listed above have kept my system clean for over a year. (I disguarded Anti-Spyware software) and have NOT had any issues. As for my customers: I continue to explain this type of refrain only to find this information lands on dead-ears.
Perform all items above (on a fresh-load system) and you will find no need for these (memory and CPU) intensive programs and save time/money in your new computer experience.

Rahcom, I would absolutely be the first in line to say that common sense is your best defense against malware, but I would never let it be my only defense. Besides, you seem to suggest that if you quit using your computer, it will run much better.

The decision is if you run the scanner or not, but I would.
