Do I have a key logger/screen logger of sorts?

[Stormseeker9]

Hi Everyone, not sure if this is the right sub thread, sorry if not. 

 

Just opened a PDF and this came up when adobe acrobat reader DC was opened. I often use this software to read PDF's, but never had this pop-up before. 

 

Could this point that someone is watching my screen/have a logger of sorts? AVG returns null, so does WD. Just wanting to double check and see what others think, or if this is just W11 being W11.

 

Many Thanks in advance.

Seems more like a windows 11 issue, as key/screen loggers would be coded good enough to not give any errors.

Think about that, why would a person go the extra step and tag their keylogger as an "assistive technology?" They could just not do that, and their program would be way better hidden, so I don't see an angle here.

Check your accessibility options, possible you have accidently activated read aloud or similar with a key combo, either Windows settings or Acrobat.

I mean yeah you are right, but as I never seen it before just wanted to be rather safe than sorry. 

 

Thanks  

 

@DigitalGoatYeah looks like I hit a wrong key combo which activated it.

 

Thanks to both
