I believe 'HatKeys Haak' or whatever you wish to call it is a keylogger? I remember seeing it a loooooong time ago (as in years). By a rough assumption, I think that it logs your keystrokes and then sends them to a remote server. I don't think you have anything to worry about unless you keep deleting it because it keeps coming back.
