Spybot Search & Destroy and MalwareBytes Anti-Malware tools will find everything, as long as they have been updated to the latest version.

This process can be done to remove almost any offending spyware. You just have to find which filenames the program is telling your computer to start up.
When the pop-up comes up, press ctrl-alt-del to bring up process list. figure out which process is bringing up the fake security alert. should be mupcXXXXX.exe. Kill the offending process by pressing end process. The pop-up should close itself.
Go to start, run, then type “regedit”. Now be very careful here, dont do anything unless sure. Go to find, and then type “mupc” or whatever the filename of offending program was. Pressing F3 does the find next function, this speeds it up. You should find an entry under Startup, Run and a list of programs that run when you start your computer. Delete any entries that have “mupcXXXX.exe” or whatever the offender is. Go through entire registry to clean up those entries.
When all entries done from registry, now time to delete the files. Go to start, search. Type in “mupc” or the file name and it should come up. Delete the file. If you know when you got the virus, do a search of date modified, put the date in. Next, right click on the right and check “date created”. New column comes up. Click on the column to sort it by date. Look for the date. Delete whatever files got created at the time you got the virus.
Restart your computer, and press ctrl-alt-del and check to make sure that the offending process did not run.

The annoying popup which results in an invitation to download Malware from Regnow.com can now be removed with MalwareBytes. The latest version issued today, 31 Oct 2008, now picks it up and deletes 7 errant files and corrects the registry. Other programs have yet to find the loader.
Still am uncertain as to how this particular laptop was infected.

Trojan-Keylogger.fung popup keeps coming up on my laptop as of last night (Nov 2). We believe it came from a video file. Not much information is available on this particular trojan. Windows Vista.

This pop-up is really annoying. I have installed malwarebytes tool (latest update nov 4, 2008) and it didn’t find anything.
Did anyone get rid of this key-logger?

I tried the malwarebytes, and it found two registery entries, I removed both, but the problem persists.
There is no entries in task manager even remotely resembling mupc….
Im going to try spybot search and destroy next to see if it can find it and get rid of it. The popup truly is annoying, and I’ve heard it’s a fake security alert to try to sell you on some software and or add more spyware/malware to your computer. If it’s not truly a keylogger then I feel a bit more secure but annoyed to deal with the popup every 10 to 20 minutes.
This is a brand new computer and the first popup came when I ran a preinstalled program called “Diner dash Flo, on the Go”, some silly little game that came on my acer aspire computer.

Thank you Tim for your impeccable instructions. I never activated the Trojan so it only remained a pop-up. Your detailed instructions helped me to discover the root of the popup which happened to be: wsrdw.exe
It was also located: HKEY_Current_User/Software/Classes/Local Settings/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Shell/MuiCache “wsrdw.exe” (hope this helps someone else) I deleted them both and restarted. Everything seems fine now.
