When Spyware.IkitecKL is installed, it performs the following actions:

    "(Default)"="%ProgramFiles%\Auto Keylogger\kl.exe"

    to the registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\kl.exe

      "WndMsg"="%ProgramFiles%\Auto Keylogger\klkernel.exe"
        to the registry key:

        so the spyware runs every time that Windows starts.

          to the registry key:
