I compiled and ran the keylogger from the C++ section to try it. The only thing is, I don't know how to get it to stop running with Windows.

It shows up in my processes section in Task manager, being run by the system, and won't let me delete it.

Any ideas on how to remove it?

Go here HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and delete it for a start.

Hm, lol can't find it. I see it in processes in task manager, but can't find it in regedit. :(

In windows 2000+, right click my computer, left click manage. Expand Services and Applications, go into services and disable / stop the service you want to stop.

I don't think you can uninstall a service, but you can disable it as morefood said.. I think in XP it is something similar.

I done this in windows Vista.. disabled some useless services.

Well as long as it disabled I'm good. :D My computers slow enough. :o Don't need some useless keylogger running.

Well one thing I learned from CC: don't compile and run every code example you see. :)

Hehe.. I don't :p

Unless you know how to remove it...

You don't remove services in windows unless you create them (eg. I made a webcam service so that I am not required to login to have a live webcam site, thus making windows much faster).

And don't ever disable Background Intelligent Transfer Service, its useless, but will cause major problems down the road when you want to defrag or manage services after about 10 restarts :P. At least it has for me. Plus it can slow down your computer over time.

To disable a service in XP, go to Run on the Start menu and type "msconfig". Go to the Services tab and disable it from there?

services.msc

That also works. There are several ways of disabling services on windows 2000+, it just depends on how few clicks you want to do it in :P
