I have never used any anti-keylogger software, I just don't see the point of having a tool to do just that one thing.
All security applications up to a point will detect some keylogger files, but they are unlikely to detect every single one and the problem of determining what is a legit keylogger from a malicious one is difficult.
The one thing about a malicious keylogger is that it will want to send that data that it has harvested, so it requires an outbound connection, so you need a good firewall that is going to block unauthorised outbound connections.

Just like DavidR said. In mbam or sas they relies on definition files to detect malware, Some HIPS or BB works great detection keyloggers. When a keylogger trys to connect to a server, to send data usually a good firewall will alert you from this outbound connection.
