Suspicious .sys File In Driver Folder


Recommended Posts

Posted

I just recently downloaded SnoopFree Privacy Shield (http://www.snoopfree.com/PrivacyShield.htm), it's an application that detects keyboard filters and keyloggers.

Upon boot up it gave me the breach message that file "samfilt.sys" is a Keyboard Filter and has access to everything that I type into the keyboard. In other words, a keylogger.

I cannot find any information on this "samfilt.sys" file. The directory it's in is: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS

Given information is that the file is Written for Dolphin, Inc. by Walter Oney Software. It's Copyright © 2002 Dolphin, Inc., and the file version is 1.0.0.0.

Is this a WINDOWS system file? Does anyone know why it's being detected as a KEYLOGGER? What is the underlying purpose of this "samfilt.sys" driver?

Thanks for any information any one of you can provide. I am really in desperate need--Google can't answer this one.
