Ad-aware 6 or spybot search and destroy both work very well.

Or get it from a p2p program to get the registered version that allows you to update the definitions.

Norton classifies keyloggers as Trojans, and blocks the Keylogger that I've had for, like, ever. It wouldn't show up in Ctrl+Alt+Delete. Since I knew how to disable it, I just let it run. It didn't dial home, it was only for local use.

But if you have a keylogger you didn't put there, it may dial.

I would recommend Norton Internet Security 2003 Professional. Keep it LiveUpdate'd, and if it doesn't quarantine the keylogger (which it will), it will prevent it from dialing home. You can D/L it here. Watch out for the 2004 edition - the biggest new feature is, it has an activation thing. Stick with 03.
