Avast! 4.7 Home Edition Win XP SP2
You have started to report C:\Program Files\KeyTick\kt_dll.dll as a virus. This prevents me running the program. Please correct.
For confirmation see the note in red near the top of the following web page

Could do with an exclusion that worked for resident protection so as not to have to write to you!
Incidentally how did you come to use an obscure English naval term as your name - it’s appropriate enough, but it must indicate having read naval novels?javascript:replaceText(’ ;D’, document.postmodify.message);

Are you sure it’s a false positive?
Other AV’s report the file, “kt_dll.dll” as a “Keylog-Spider” trojan. See this link:
McAfee on kt_dll.dll

You can visit Jotti and upload that file and let it scan it with 15 other AV’s.

Lost my reply, so here goes again.
The note on PCMag’s web page, which I shall paste below, is self-explanatory and I think no further investigation is needed. I have used the this utility from PCMag (hardly a likely source of viruses) for over two years with no trouble.
NOTE: Some versions of anti-virus software may incorrectly report that a virus is contained within this software because it monitors your keystrokes (in order to make the “tick” noise). This is a false positive. No virus exists in this file.

Put the file path into both standard shield and the main scan exclusion lists if you are happy that it is an OK file. Start Avast go to the menu select settings - select exclusions. Left click Avast selct standard shield - select customise - select advanced and add the file path and name
Thanks -done.
As I see in your help file that you would like to see the installation file and as it is a zip, I’ll send it to your support email address, with the heading “False Positive”.
