Computer protection from keyloggers, etc.

My computer runs on XP and I'm running MS AntiSpywhere, Lavasoft Adaware, Spybot, ZoneAlarm for firewall, and Antivir for virus protection. Although these have run and don't show anything on my computer, I would like to know what steps I can take to make sure there are no key logging programs or other programs set up where someone can see my computer from theirs. Is there a directory I can look for on my computer or suspicious files to look for?

A big concern I have is there are many programs running on my computer that I do not recognize. I don't know which are part of XP, etc.

I appreciate any help and suggestions on actions to take that anyone can offer.

Although it's good to know what's running on your computer, going by a process' name is not the best way to determine if it's a malicious program or not.

 

You can also fun a number of free ondemand scanners

Bitdefender (free version)
Kaspersky online scanner
Trend Micro's Housecall online scanner
Ewido (free version)
Spysweeper online scanner

Rootkit detectors (in case that you have a rootkit RAT/KL)

Rootkit Revealer by sysinternals (free)
Backlight beta (by fprotect I think)
Unhackme (paid)

Other types of free realtime protection to consider
Prevx1R (beta)
Antihook
Sandboxie (I think it's still a beta)
BufferZone (beta)

 

I've always found Spycop.com to be a good keylogger scanner. It's a manual scanner but it can find just about all of them even if they're installed before spycop is. Costs some $$ though.

 

Isn't it Lavasoft Adawhere ? (sorry, couldn't resist)
Where the spyware is, is often indeed a problem.
