It has been called to our attention by a few students that certain spyware programs are detecting Vista’s winload.exe as a keylogger called: PC Tattletale.
There is a distinct difference between the two files.
The Vista version is located in: vista\system32
The keylogger, PC Tattletale is located in C:\Windows\system32 and also adds a multitude of other files with it!
Symantec has great technical detail located here if you are interested in pursuing it further: http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2005-062215-5127-99&tabid=2
Make sure if you are using VISTA that you have a VISTA compatible antispyware program please!
