Ok, I want to find a anti-keylogger program, seeing as I'm actually afraid I might have picked one up (although I dont know how, no one has access to my computer, or anything, so someone couldt have installed one, but maybe by visiting a website, is that possible?)

SpyCop is supposed to be one of the better anti-keylogger tools:

also, in process explorer, I found a program called "PSTORES.EXE" in the windows system folder running, i found it, it says its by Microsoft, and "Private Server Storage" or something :-\

Ah, and also, there probably no Freeware anti-keyloggers or anything, is there? :-\ ah well... I probably dont have one, only thing that made me worry, is on my "What is a keylogger" topic, I checked out the 2 sites that someone posted up :-\ ( http://spector.com/ and http://www.trueactive.com/default.asp with some info on what they can do, because they are legal keyloggers for businesses or something? )

Hmm, on the site, I found this: http://www.anti-keyloggers.com/products.html I'm gonna try it, and atleats make sure I dont have any, and if I dont, I can delete it when trial is up... although How I'd get a Keylogger, I dont know, I am adminstrator of this computer, no one else besides me has actual pyshical access to it, and my firewall would stop any outgoing data from something like that, wouldnt it?

??? Do you know for sure, that you have a keylogger?

Or are you just guessing that you might have one?

Just guessing, at the moment, nothing strange has been requesting access to the internet for a while, so right now, I'm just trying to get something to see if I have one, ah well.. I very serisouly doubt I have one, but, never know with all this software/malware/spyware/viruses/worms/trojan horse getting more high-tech and smarter to go around firewalls, and everything else :-\ ...... damn people have to destroy everything, dont they? :-\

*sigh* guess there probably isnt a keylogger on my computer (I'm discontinuing my search for a free antikeylogger, and just giving up, heh) if anyone does happen to find one, let me know :-\

Hmm, Well, would a keylogger show up in Process Explorer? or would it be in my registry as a boot up object?
