I had exactly the same problem with Ardamax Keylogger and Xoftspy - it "sees" it but fails to identify it as a threat or remove it. I wound up reimaging my hard drive.

I am preplexed as to how it entered my system since I am running Norton Internet Security, Xoftspy, and Spybot Search & Destroy. All are updated weekly.

This is weird...I ran xoftspy, it sees the ardamax but it won't register it as a spyware. I searched for the akl.exe and the dll but it's not on my system...what's going on here?
