I belive I got mine from the Yugioh trainer I checked for my kids. Since it was the only file found, I belive it was harmless use of the file, and just used by the trainer. However, since spybot detected it - I removed it. It will be dropped again if I use the trainer again.

I first came across the hotkeyshook keylogger back in late 2003 from various trainers off megagames website. And they still have the trainers up after I emailed them about it!

Spybot found the keylogger in root:/windows/system/ as H@tKeysH@@K.dll while Norton and AVG overlooked the file!

Yeh, i got it simply by opening a trainer to a game, its one of those cheap trainers, i haven't had any harm done to my pc though it but its annoying.

It's not a virus, it's been confirmed on many sites, this just logs your strokes that the trainer needs, and it goes nowhere.
EG, without it apparently if you press say, CTRL F to access a function it probably won't work.
Both Ad-aware and S+D detect it, i do know there is one that has simlar name.

It is not as bad as it seems, but still it is not pleasant to know that you have keylogger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystroke_logging).

Please run antivirus to remove H@tkeysh@@k.dll (http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-h@tkeysh@@k.html) file.
