This goes back years. I thought the h@tkeysh@@k string would have given it away. Loads of people have contacted the major AV companies to have this detection reviewed, but nothing has ever been done. I guess, although it is used legitimately in trainers to detected hotkeys, it 'could' be used maliciously for detecting keypresses in other apps. Hence the keylogger flag. I did notice though, that the AV's I would consider 'good' don't have this detection. Avast, AVG, NOD32, Symantec etc.
