keylogger

Die Datei wsg.exe ist ein Keylogger. Er protukolliert alle ihre Tastendrücke und kann diese in eine log-Datei speichern oder sogar an fremde E-Mail Adressen versenden. Sollten Ihnen das Programm volkommen unbekannt sein, löschen sie es sofort. Anderfalls dient es aber der PC Überwachung und ist sehr hilfreich.
