SC-KeyLog is the latest in dubious applications. Falling under the category of Key logger, SC-KeyLog is a powerful, invisible key logger that will log a users’ activity and save it to an encrypted log file.

The thing that sets SC-KeyLog apart from most key loggers is the fact that SC-KeyLog is highly customized, easy to use, and creates exceptionally small custom key logger engines, in order to deploy these key logger engines on remote platforms.

SC-KeyLog is notorious for capturing all keyboard activities to a file. Each character typed on the keyboard is logged, which is then used to monitor the activity of the user. SC-KeyLog continues to log the names of programs used and the date and time of the inputted characters. All access to the key logger is password protected and is only made possible via the SC-KeyLog control panel.

SC-KeyLog is also referred to by a number of alternative names, so one should be on the lookout for these variations as well:

•Keylog-SC
• security risk or a "backdoor" program
• Trj/Sckeylog
• Trojan.Spy.SCKeyLog.20
• Trojn.Spy.SCKeyLog
• Trojan.Spy.SCKeyLog.a
• Trojan.Spy.SCeyLog.d
• TrojanSpy.Win32.SCKeyLog.a
• Win32.SCKeyLog.A
• Win32/SCKeyLog.1_025!DLL!Trojan
• Win32/SCKeylog.1_025!Trojan

As a spyware key logger application, SC-KeyLog is believed to have been developed by Soft-central.net. SC-KeyLog runs invisibly on a system, and may be remotely installed or uninstalled. SC-KeyLog is sometimes configured in such a manner so as to allow for the logging of every web page the user visits, as well as to record all keystrokes that the user enters on the keyboard. SC-KeyLog may also be capable of severely violating an infected system’s privacy, and the safety of personal and financial data, making no exclusion of banking and credit card information.

In order to protect a computer system from the threat of SC-KeyLog one should adhere to the following rules:

1.Keep your Windows security updated
2.Download and install a reliable and competent anti-spyware application, one that will recognise the current SC-KeyLog threat, as well as any other forms of spyware, malware, viruses, worms, etc.
