I thought antivirus software could detect the presence of keyloggers (Avira AntiVir comes to mind).
I got my knuckles rapped for introducing a second thread on keyloggers.
I did so because I felt the first thread was, to a certain extent, drifting away from the original questions I asked. Having said that, I think it is natural,and inevitable, that some threads develop, in this way, and I have no complaints about the process.
I will take hazelnut's advice and have a look at SpyShelter. I'm also interested in hearing opinions about any other anti-keylogger programmes such as KeyScrambler.
As far as antivirus software detecting the presence of keyloggers the impression I have always had is that some keyloggers can be found whilst others are too sophisticated for basic antivirus software. Is that an accurate assessment of the situation?

Should you ever feel that happening to one of your threads you need only add in a post saying:
Can we please stay on topic!

I know very little about keylogger detection, but then again I'm also not downloading any questionable software I'm unfamiliar with. I use a combo of antivirus along with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
When you feel you attacked by a keylogger, is your computer aways running? If so, you may check if there is " /var/log/kernel.log", if there is, you may sneak attacked by keyloggers.
You also can install an anti-keylogger softwarel to check if there is a keylogger on your PC.
Before you sure the problem, recommend you change your important password with virtual keyboad which can not be recorded by keylogger.
