Demoney might promise you will “start making a lot of money in no time” if you install it, but in reality what you may receive is nothing more than irritating third-party advertisements. Apparently, it was reported the extension could replace advertisements shown by the web pages you are visiting with the ads from its third-party partners. As a result, computer security specialists decided the program should fall under the classification of adware. So far it can be encountered only by those who search the Internet with Google Chrome, but we will talk more about Demoney’s distribution methods later in the text. If you continue reading our report, you will also learn about the adware’s working manner and the ways it can be erased.

Keylogger.Revealer
Originally, Keylogger.Revealer is a free monitoring tool developed by Logifox. It can be downloaded from https://www.logixoft.com/en-us/index by anyone. It is not harmful until cyber criminals modify it and use it for malicious purposes. Unfortunately, as specialists at anti-spyware-101.com have observed, more and more cyber criminals discover this piece of software and use it to spy on users. It is not so easy to find out about the presence of Keylogger.Revealer on the system because this keylogger does not open any window. Instead, it works silently in the background. Consequently, it takes time to detect it. We know one trick that will help you to detect this infection if it has already been uploaded onto the computer by cyber criminals – you should be able to find a new process, e.g., rvlkl.exe in Task Manager. Also, Keylogger.Revealer drops an executable file on the affected machine, but since Keylogger.Revealer is already 9 years old, and cyber criminals have modified it a number of times during this time, the malicious file belonging to this keylogger might be placed in any folder, so you might not even notice it at first. Either way, you cannot keep Keylogger.Revealer active on your PC because its presence can only bring privacy-related problems to you. Read more »
