According to researchers, the keylogger feature was discovered in the
> Conexant HD Audio Driver Package version 1.0.0.46 and earlier.
>


This is an audio driver that is preinstalled on HP laptops. One of the
> files of this audio driver is MicTray64.exe
> (C:\windows\system32\mictray64.exe).
>


This file is registered to start via a Scheduled Task every time the user
> logs into his computer. According to modzero researchers, the file
> "monitors all keystrokes made by the user to capture and react to functions
> such as microphone mute/unmute keys/hotkeys."
>


*This behavior, by itself, is not a problem, as many other apps work this
> way. The problem is that this file writes all keystrokes to a local file
> at:*


> *C:\users\public\MicTray.log*
