My Kaspersky Anti-Virus found a riskware Keylogger in the DosBox.exe ! It´s a harmless component of the program or it´s a real spyware ?

First question that comes to my mind, where did you download DOSBox? I would not get it anywhere but from the official site at www.dosbox.com . If you got it from the official site more than likely it would be a false positive on your antivirus program.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I download for the oficial site, but when I made a Google surch, I found that there is a spywhere named dosbox, maybe that was the mistake ... excess of zeal ( I don´t know if this is the right expression in english ). Are there any one with the same problem ?

Highly unlikely. Can you get a checksum (e.g. md5sum) of the DOSBox installer you downloaded?
