There is a virus out there that records everything you type on your keyboard and everything you click with your mouse. An anti-virus program will not detect it. To find this program, search your hardrive for the following files:

RegLoad.hlp

Micrososft OOB Protection 2.00.exe


If you find these files, delete them immediately. The file 'regload.hlp' is the log that stores all your passwords and such and the file 'microsoftoobprotection2.00.exe' is the virus. I had this virus on my system since the beginning of the month, and I was completely oblivious to it's presence. I felt that I should warn you about it know that I have removed it. Thank You.
