Description: Removal Instructions:

Autorun:

Please use Spybot-S&D, RunAlyzer or msconfig.exe to remove the following autorun entries.

• Entries named "Windows Defender" and pointing to "<$APPDATA>\Satz.exe".

Files:

Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.

• The file at "<$APPDATA>\Satz.exe".
• The file at "<$APPDATA>\Satz".

Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If Win32.Keylogger.pp uses rootkit technologies, use the rootkit scanner integrated into Spybot-S&D 2.x or our Total Commander anti-rootkit plugins.
You will have to use a global search for files without a name specified. Be extra careful, because just the name might not be enough to identify files!

Important: There are more files that cannot be safely described in simple words. Please use Spybot-S&D to remove them.

Registry:

You can use regedit.exe (included in Windows) to locate and delete these registry entries.

• Delete the registry key "{7CBEEABE-13C2-074C-41C5-B0EA57FFEC1C}" at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\".
• Delete the registry key "{7CBEEABE-13C2-074C-41C5-B0EA57FFEC1C}" at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\".
• Delete the registry value "Windows Defender" at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer\run\".

If Win32.Keylogger.pp uses rootkit technologies, use our RegAlyzer, RootAlyzer or our Total Commander anti-rootkit plugins.
