    I installed 2 keylogger programs

    Windows can start up normally , it gets to the desktop , immediately Avira asks me what to do with 1 Trojan (Avira thinks it is a malicious keylogger)

    The other keylogger generates an "unexpected failure" message right after the start up.

    Then when I want to start up a browser, I get a blue screen with the following message (translated from my own languague) :

    "STOP c000021a {not recoverable system failure}
    System process windows logon process interrupted unexpectly with status 0xc00000fd (0x00000000 0x00000000)
    System is closed down"



    What happened ?

    What happened is that you downloaded two trojan keyloggers.

    If you are 100% sure neither are malicious you could uninstall the faulty one then do a system restore. That should be sufficient if the problem is just a malfunctioning program and not an actual virus. (Though, I wouldn't be too quick to assume it's not a virus. Trust in your anti-virus unless you know beyond any doubt the program is on your side.)

    Can't do a system restore since it crashes to the above indications after about 1 minute

    Now it starts to crash right after start-up :)

    I am hearing little clicks in the desktop just before the system crashes, I was hearing those little clicks also before installing those keyloggers but nothing happened except that windows halted for a fraction of a second

    You're hearing clicking? That doesn't sound so good...might be a faulty hard drive.

    Could the clicking of the hard drive cause windows halting for a fraction of a second ?

    It could be the clicking is the "mouse click" being recorded. Also, you installed TWO keyloggers so each keylogger is recording the other keylogger. So, you type "A" and keylogger one says "Oh I record "A", then keylogger two records "A" and keylogger one says "Oh I record "A", then keylogger two records "A" and
    keylogger one says "Oh I record "A", then keylogger two records "A" and
    keylogger one says "Oh I record "A", then keylogger two records "A" and....

    If you can load safe mode, do a systme restore back to an earlier point. If you cannot, weren't you the one who recently told me that it was no big deal to reinstall?

    Also, doesn't this site have a policy about helping people with software that can be used for a malicious purposes?

    I have 2 files that I didn't save on my USB stick > prefer to solve the problem instead of reinstalling and losing the files.

    Look, I have a very beautiful girlfriend (ex-topmodel)and I need to check if she is cheating on me ...

    Maybe you are lucky that you don't have such a problem :)

    You continue to use two malicious programs even after your AV warns you about one of them and even after other users(in the other closed thread) warn you check the legitimately of these programs(remember, there is no such thing as a free lunch).

    Since, you continue to violate the forum rules(I warned you in the other thread, not to bring up these programs again), you are now banned for a little while.

    After the ban, I suggest you find another place to get help for your problem(if you would used legitimate programs, then most manufactures/designers would be more than happy to help/point you in the right direction).
