I think the best way would just too look in your registry or startup folder. Every Key logger I have ever used has been a regular program, so it should show up in your registry. Also you can check your task manager for processes you do not feel should be running.

I don't know of any programs that can detect them. I actually don't think it would be to hard b/c you would just need to look for a file growing by a byte everytime a key is pressed.

Recently a family member who thought It was cute put one on my machine. I knew this and tried to track it down in the registry and searching for the last modified file on my computer.

This has worked for some of my customer's machines in the past but for some reason I could not find this one. I even download a program called Keylogger tracker, ran adaware but with no luck

It has been removed now and my XP system is locked down as much as it can be, but I wonder if there are any good programs out there.

I can recommend SpyBot Search & Destroy (http://security.kolla.de/). It's freeware, btw.

But do they also track the web pages you visit and the programs you run???
