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?

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 could of happened when you installed a program you downloaded it from the internet
Ardamax has a feature to bind it to another file, so when you run the file that it was binded to, it silently installs along with the file your using

For me, the key comnination is Ctrl-Alt-Shift-H which brings it up in the task bar.

Another way of removing it is to download the software from their website (free version), one of the included .exe files is an uninstaller
