I live in a dodgy part of the world, where internet cafes are known to have keyloggers. Is there a way of telling if one is operating on a particular machine?
Thanks for any help.

i don't think so - they normally hide themselves from the running processes
found this - maybe itll help
http://www.pestpatrol.com/Support/Ab...KeyLoggers.asp
post if you find answer.
Maybe also if you run a spyware program something willl come up
but actually what if you used HijackthisLog - i'm sure it would register.
Download herehttp://www.download.com/3000-8022-10227353.html
put in the Log file here for analysis - http://www.hijackthis.de/
(Hijack this doesnt require installation hence can be easily runin cybercafes)
I guess youd have to run several keyloggers on your machine - and test which ones show

15% Some interesting info at Pest Patrol but not answers really.
HijackThis is a nice one, but it is so complex in what it reports that to spot a rogue entry in one of the cyber cafe machines would be difficult, as I wouldnt have time to post the results on any forums.
Trouble is, I am having to do my internet banking using these machines, and makes me very nervous about putting in passwords etc. Difficult isn't it..

Out of order
Banking on the internet is the last thing I'd want to try, no matter how secure the protocols and servers are supposed to be.
Wouldn't it be just as easy to nip down to the bank as it is to nip down to the internet cafe?

i still think you could use hijackthis to find out if there is one on
and the analyser http://www.hijackthis.de/ is pretty simple
the only problem is that youd probably have to reboot to get of the system.
or if you find a keylogger on the system then simply goto another pc or cafe

Many thanks for all the suggestions guys. Unfortunately, it is not easy to 'pop down to the bank" as my money is paid into a bank in UK and I live in Philippines, but the thread has given me some things to try.
Also had the idea of putting all the confidential stuff on floppy, and pasting it in, which should foil the keyloggers, but doesnt get past the screen capture thingys. But anyway, very grateful for the help.
Regards
Ken
