The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    I was on the World of Warcraft forums when I fell for a dubious link and it was obviously a keylogger. I have used Webroot spysweeper to find it and all I got were minor threat cookies. What can I do?

    I'd try a scan with both SuperAntiSpyware and MalwareBytes Antimalware
