Okey my other computer has been "keylogged" by my brother, threatening me in one way or another. SO my mission right now is to search and destroy this "keylogger" that he "installed" on my "computer". Which brings me to my question: How do I find it, how do i kill it?

Why did you quote "installed" and "computer?" Are you being coy with us?

I believe spyware removers like Ad-aware can find and remove keyloggers. Check the consolidated security thread.

First, check if there is a hardware keylogger. Typically a small dongle attached between the keyboard wire and the ps2 port. Failing that use ad-aware will remove the most popular keyloggers. You could always use a process viewer to snoop out any rogue processes. Personally I think he's probably pulling your leg!

1. check "for" hardware "keylogger"
2. reinstall "OS" and "password" it
3. profit

Really, the best way is to "format" your "computer"... AVs and anti-spywares can detect some of them, but some of them are legitimate and can't be detected by them.

look inside the WINDOWS folder
Keyloggers are usuallly installed somewhere inside of tons of files/files
Good luck :)
