Keylogger detection

[Nerva]

Hi guys, I am just wondering if there is a way to detect if a keylogger is installed on your system. I am running windows 7 on a dell box. Thanks.

It's as possible as most forms of malware. Why do you suspect your system has one installed?

You could try a full scan with a non-trial, free download of malwarebytes. http://www.malwarebytes.org/

If you thinks it is, it is.

That's a pretty unfortunate mutant gift... "can make keyloggers materialise with his mind" 🙂

There are too many undefined variables here to provide a definitive answer. Though, depending on the sophistication and resources of your opponent, a keylogger may be very difficult or even impossible to detect with normal methods.

If you are concerned, it would be prudent for you to learn more. Securelist has an excellent article.

Normally, you can detect a hardware keylogger by inspection.

Software keyloggers can be very difficult to detect, but if you have the resources installing a network tap, collecting, and analyzing packets as they leave your system should provide you with insight as to whether a keylogger is sending information from your computer.

Best of luck,
