I’ve got two request in forum asking how to uninstall or remove the REFOG Keylogger from their computer. Refog Keylogger logs all key presses and keystrokes typed on your PC, and saves any text pasted from the clipboard. It even does periodic screen captures, so that the person who installed it will have access to fully illustrated usage history of the PC. Refog Keylogger can also decode chat conversations in many popular instant messengers, track Web sites and resources visited by your family members, and log all applications launched on your computer. In short, it monitors everything you do on your computer. Scary isn’t it?

Uninstalling a keylogger on your computer is not really that easy because it’s totally hidden from task manager and if you try to uninstall it using the official uninstaller, you need to enter the Master Password or else it won’t proceed. Most antivirus or antispyware is able to detect keyloggers but there are times when these security tools won’t be able to fully remove it and ends up making the PC unstable. Well good news is I’ve analyzed how REFOG Keylogger saves the master password and I’ll show you how easy it is to remove it so you can uninstall that nasty keylogger.

First of all, to know if you have REFOG Keylogger installed on your computer, all you need to do is simultaneously press WIN+R key to bring up the Run window, type runrefog and hit enter. If you get a message saying “Windows cannot find runrefog”, then you are safe but if you get a window that asks for password, then you’re being MONITORED! Not to worry because I will show you how to easily uninstall it from your computer even if REFOD Keylogger is password protected.

1. First, bring up the Run window by simultaneously pressing WIN+R key.
For Windows XP users:
Type %allusersprofile%\Application Data\MPK and click OK.
For Windows Vista and Windows 7 users:
Type %allusersprofile%\MPK and click OK.
runrefog

2. Delete the file S0000.
reset keylogger password

3. Again launch the Run window by pressing WIN+R key, type runrefog and click OK.

4. Go to Tools from the menu bar and select Uninstall.
uninstall refog keylogger
Follow the instructions to fully remove REFOG Keylogger from your computer. In Windows 7, the BETA version of REFOG Keylog Uninstall menu doesn’t work. If nothing appears when you select Uninstall, then launch the Run window, type %WINDIR%\System32\MPK\unins000.exe. That should launch the REFOG Keylogger uninstaller.

How did I discovered this? It is pretty simple if you have read this article on tracking registry and file changes when installing software in Windows.
