Spyware found on a work PC
 

Has anyone heard of spyware called I Am Big Brother?

Running a check on a pc at work found it, but here's the kicker, it was found to be in a registry key associated with Novell

HKLM\software\Novell\NetWareWorkstation\CurrentVersion\ServicePackFiles

Here's the question, would this be a false-positive?

Has anyone else heard of it or come across it? I did a Google search and came up with nil.

Please help.

Which spyware checker found it?

Spykiller

Try something else; and, good luck on uninstalling Spykiller:
Also, from some guy's blog, although I've seen it elsewhere:
At the moment, I can't even get to the Spybot site, so get Lavasoft Ad-Aware for now.

I am Big Brother is definatly not a Novell product, but it may piggyback off of the protocol and they thought best to place it where people won't look...

Get Adaware ;)

I use ad aware and Spybot and neither one found it. One of the tech guys in the Fire Dept. was using Spykiller and it is the one that caught the spyware, so that's why I'm curious if it is a false positve.

btw, redlemon, http://safer-networking.org is where Spybot S&D lives now.

It looks like "I Am Big Brother" is a legit keylogger/tracker, and that's a grey area when it comes to spyware.

If this is a work computer, I'm thinking that the boss installed it. If the boss checks for results later and finds out that his keylogger was deactivated, that's just as bad as discovering that you've been on TFP all day.
