    Getting Rid of a Keylogger


    Whilst roaming about the net, I seem to have picked up a keylogger. I know this because I got an email today with my user name and a valid password for a site I frequent in the subject line. The email is threatening me with embarrassing details being broadcast to everyone in my address book unless I provide a bitcoin, yadda yadda yadda.

    I have seen these phishing emails before, but they have never had my password before, so I know I've been keylogged. My question is, how do I find the logger and how do I get rid of it? I am running Malwarebytes and it didn't find it. I also used SuperAntiSpyware and Windows Defender, but nothing showed up there either. I have changed my passwords using another PC, but I want to clean my machine from this. I'm using 1909, fully updated.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    :)

    Win 10 How to get rid of Windows.old folder and content.


    *Think

    As always, there seems to be lots of alleged fixes out there, which may work on versions earlier than Win 10... but not with Win 10. The struggle for getting rid of this now un-needed bloat seems to be wrapped up in file permissions. But even when I try to clobber it with administrative authority, it won't budge. One fix suggests that you can use disk cleanup to get rid of it by selecting previous installation files. Heh. Yeah. Just TRY and find that option in Win 10.

    Ok. Somebody hopefully has managed to resolve this inigma. Step by step, please. Getting Rid of a Keylogger :)
