What avast does, and the awesome job it does do. Yet, we also have heard of Keylogging being a major new threat. 

Question.  Has anyone here had any luck with any paticular Anti keylogging programs?

If so which ones ...

Thanks.....

Anti-Spyware programs such as Ad-Aware and Spybot take care/remove Keylogging programs.

Key logging isn't anything new. It excist as long as there are computers.

Keep in mind that Avast is primarly a anti-virus application and not a 'total' malware removal application.

For more info click on the link in my signature and read the malware removal section.
For definitions about malware, virus, trojan and such see my webboard.

PestPatrol detects most keyloggers at the moment... but also many fakes (false positives) so I won't recommend it... Use both Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D, a safe and free combination :)
