ARES/keylogger?

Hi,

I downloaded a program (.exe) from Ares P2P.

When I tried to install it, a black screen appeared, disappeared, then nothing else happened. No program appears to have been installed.

I'm using MSXPHome, and have DSL. Nothing appears on a Norton's virus scan, nor as spyware. Could they detect a keylogger that I installed myself? Could it have been another spy program? Do autodialers work through DSL connections?

How do I know what type of program was installed?

Please answer locally on this NG. My email is obviously fake.

Thanks for any assistance.

Neither of the two gives clear directions as how to interpret the data, nor what to do after you do ID a threat. They actually state that legit antivirus scans may produce a positive.

Any pointers?

Best Regards
