Computer Security & Viruses - How to detect and remove keyloggers?

Expert: James Filmer - 7/7/2009

Question
Hi,i play online gaming a lot and hacking into accounts using keyloggers seems to be fairly rampant at the moment.I have up to date Mcafee anti-virus software and scan my pc regularly,but i have heard that keyloggers are fairly hard to detect and most anti-virus software will not pick them up,is this true? And if so can you advise me of the best way to detect and remove them,any help is much appreciated.

I like Keyscrambler, AVG, a-squared, Superantispyware and other anti-malware software to protect against software keyloggers. See also:
