how do I uninstall it?

Before you can uninstall the keylogger, you have to find it on your
computer. One of the following procedures will find it.
Removing an installed keylogger
See question 7. If you can't uninstall it this way, Ghost Keylogger has
probably been deployed on your computer. To remove a deployed keylogger see
the instructions below.
Removing a deployed keylogger
A deployed keylogger is much harder to find (see manual for details) and you
will have to trace it through the registry.
1. Press "Start" button->Run
2. Type "regedit" and press enter
3. Windows 95/98/ME: Navigate to the following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
3. Windows NT/2000/XP: Navigate to the following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
4. You can find a Name called "Synchronization Agent" this will point to a
.exe file. This is the Ghost Keylogger file.
5. Write down the full path of the .exe file pointed out by the
"Synchronization Agent" key.
Now you know where Ghost Keylogger is installed, the next step is to
uninstall it. You can do this in two different ways.
This first way requires that you restart the computer.
1. Delete the key in the registry. (Select it and press the delete key).
2. Reboot the computer.
3. Use explorer to find the Ghost Keylogger file pointed by the registry
entry.
4. A deployed keylogger comes in three files. An .exe file, a .dll file, and
a .cfg file. All files are named as the .exe file pointed out in the
registry. E.g. if the file pointed out by the registry was named hidden.exe,
there will exist two files called hidden.dll and hidden.cfg as well. Remove
these three files. You have now uninstalled Ghost Keylogger from your
system.
The second way requires that you have a little knowledge of the command
prompt.
1. Press the "Start" button->Run
2. Windows 95/98/ME: type "command" and press enter.
2. Windows NT/2000/XP: type "cmd" and press enter.
3. Go to the directory pointed out from the registry.
4. The file pointed out in the registry was an .exe file. Type the name of
the exe file followed by the parameters -uninstall -reportwithmessagebox.
E.g. if the filename is "hidden.exe", type
"hidden -uninstall -reportwithmessagebox" and press enter. A message box
should report success.
5. A deployed keylogger comes in three files. An .exe file, a .dll file, and
a .cfg file. All files are named as the .exe file pointed out in the
registry. E.g. if the file pointed out by the registry was named hidden.exe,
there will exist two files called hidden.dll and hidden.cfg as well. Remove
these three files. You have now uninstalled Ghost Keylogger from your
system.
