As for keylogging, please see this thread:

JRWorker.exe is used to perform any task where we can not control stability, normally due to the loading of components we didn't author like device drivers or video filters.  So for example, it's used to analyze devices, create video thumbnails, etc.

Thanks a lot!

I have moved MediaCenter13.exe from "Low Restricted" to the "Trusted" zone within Kaspersky and also tagged
"Do not scan opened files",
"Do not monitor application activity"  and
"Do not scan network traffic" 

to see if it makes a difference or not.

But mc13 still keeps being logged as keylogger.

Well, guess I have to accept this, it is not a big deal... was just curious...  ;)
