This is not a virus or a trojan. It is detected as a "potentially unwanted program." It is a keylogger, that logs any key typed and also remembers the program within which the key is typed in, so that the log is easier to read.
The application can be put into a stealth mode to log keystrokes while in a visually inconspicuous state.
An additional interface (shown below) adds the ability to display and filter the keystrokes captured by the application.
Upon installation of this application the following changes occur in the user's system.
The following registry keys are added:
hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion
\uninstall\ardamax keylogger
hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion
\uninstall\ardamax keylogger\uninstallstring
hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion
\uninstall\ardamax keylogger\displayname="Ardamax Keylogger 2.5"
This application is designed to capture all the keystrokes that are typed by the user.
