if you play counter strike and use it as a chat program, unless you got Xfire from the official sites, it is definately a keylogger. i simply corrupted the exe which was hiding in c:\windows. it also had with it a file which was called xfire without an extention. this file contained all the data it had been keylogging from me. whether or not it had sent any away i do not know. i did not get to install zone alarm until three days after i experienced the problems that came with this virus. the problems included random freezes where I could not click anything but taskmgr still came up. avg=no gud
