I downloaded a game, and whenever I start it up, a warning pops up from my firewall Zone Alarm informing me that there is suspicious file that may log keystrokes and websites browsed. Ok.
So, I scan the file with my AV, no results. I run a rootkit scan and nothing. Why the hell is not appearing, sure it has been detected, but it cant be found.
hmm...ok....what is the name of the game exe that causes the alert then?
maybe I can find something about false alerts in context with it or sth like that...
Im also using ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suit , The first time i launched the game called "Freestyle"(Street Basketball Game) ZA Alert me that it's trying to monitor keystroke etc. and i just put it on trusted list since i dont think a huge company will put keylogger in its game.
Ok the firewall doesn't scan the file for a key logger. It looks for a program that does something similar to one. Like hooking the keyboard and then sending it to a remote ip. Typical keylogger behavior that is also typical mmporg behavior.
Baron just be sure that your game is a largely known one and downloaded from the official site.
