  • Probably with AD AWARE PERSONAL SE or SPy Doctor or something.
  • "Software keyloggers can be far more difficult to detect and remove, but the process should begin with some basic security troubleshooting procedures. First, update your antivirus and antispyware programs with the latest definitions. Next, because keylogging software starts automatically when you boot into Windows, it’s a good idea to boot into Safe Mode instead (so the OS only starts with a limited number of drivers and resources) and run scans to detect viruses and spyware from there. But if your antivirus and antispyware programs don’t nab a keylogging program, you’re not necessarily out of the woods yet. Some keyloggers operating in stealth mode leave absolutely no clues that they’re running or even installed, as no traces appear in the processes list, Add/Remove Programs utility, or even the Windows Registry. But others do leave some tracks that can help you identify their presence. The most likely spot a keylogger will appear is on the Processes tab in the Windows Task Manager, which you can access by pressing CTRL-ALT-DELETE. Under Image Name, examine the listed processes and determine what each one does by running a Google search on the process name (some legitimate processes are easily recognizable, such as Acrobat.exe, Iexplorer.exe, and Winword.exe). You can find more detailed information on processes with Process Explorer, a free utility from Sysinternals (www.sysinternals.com). Not only does Process Explorer display running processes, but it also reveals the location of the utility. For example, ExploreAnywhere Software’s Keylogger Pro appears simply as klp32.exe in Windows Task Manager, but Process Explorer reveals the true nature of this seemingly mysterious process by showing the full path: C:Program FilesExploreAnywhereKeyloggerProklp32.exe. Discovering the presence of a keylogger doesn’t guarantee you can easily eliminate it, though; many of these programs hide their uninstall utilities and can rebuild their directories if users try to delete files related to the programs. If you discover evidence of a keylogger on your system, try contacting your antivirus or antispyware software vendor for help on removing the program. If you’re using freeware security programs, you’ll need to research the problem yourself for tips on manually removing the keylogger, but plenty of help exists on the Web for keylogger removal."

  • Keyloggers can also be hardware. Look at the keyboard connection. If the keyboard is plugged into a small device and not directly into the tower, it's possible that that's a keystroke logger.
  • Start by looking at the open processes. If you don't recognize any of them, search on Google. If you are unable to end a certain process, it could be some type of spyware or keylogger. As someone else noted, check for hardware keyloggers. I assume, when using any computer other than my own, that there is a keylogger. I try to avoid using passwords that could be used to get my personal information if I can help it. Sometimes, if I need to enter a password, I'll enter in the password in reverse order and click on the start of the password box every time to send the cursor to the front of the box. That *might* confuse the keylogger.
  • great info. thanks so much.
  • are u a guest user then u didnt find that but there have a way go to run type cmd then write dir u may see all program other wish u may use nc5
  • hmmm.. well... i wouldnt say its as simple as that.. take Ardamax for an example... - its password protected - Hidden from task manager - Hidden Installation directory - Logs are encrypted - Hidden from start-up i think the best solution would be to, yes use protection against keyloggers, like antivirus/anti-malware , firewalls and stuff but also use firefox addons to store your passwords securely, or use Opera and use the 'wand' to insert passwords in to fields, this will reduce the number of times you are typing in passwords, and should reduce the chance of your credentials.. and stuff being taken... obviously... dont just run any old exe file that someone passes to you and keep in mind that keyloggers can easily be attached to valid exes. one way to detect a keylogger it to run a netstat -an trhought the command prompt and be cautious of traffic on port 21 (particularily if you are not hosting a ftp server or currely accessing one) this is due to many keyloggers sending the logs through ftp to a remote server where the 'installer' can view the logs. FTP is most commonly used as it is hard for a newbie/idiot to set up the keylogger to their emails... as the smtp servers at gmail,yahoo , hotmail and others will not respond to emails generated by the keylogger and thus the inexperienced will most commonly use ftp upload.
  • not on my computer. maybe on your computer. are you an adult or a child. are you an employee or an employer. if you have to log in with a password, then you wont find it. if you are the computer's master, then you could search for it.
