You don't need to detect keylogger, just buy a good antivirus or just never use your keyboard anymore!
wow really is that is the solution you came up with... never use your keyboard ..! I was looking for something helpful...!

You should use Kaspersky Internet Security, it's great!
Will it detect key loggers..! because many antivirus fails.. when it comes to dealing with sophisticated keylogs and I'm quite skeptical that kaspersky will be an exception

If you want to remove keyloggers and rootkits the best way is to create a liveCD with a good antimalware program on it. I would recommend superantispyware or malwarebytes.

If you don't know how to create one just google it

Keylogger can be physical or software. There are even some ways to try to detect what you type based on sound.  I dont know how far you want to go;

LiveCD are good.  You can take out the harddisk, start from a livecd. That way you are free from a software keylogger, but not from a hardware keylogger.

Antother thing you can do to reduce risk is decentralize your valuable data. Put one data (bitcoin wallet?) in one machine, other in other machine.

Be very careful with proprietary software you install , a lot of companies, criminals and governments are interested in making spyware and Trojans - not to your benefit.

 Hardware/Physical keylog is not a concern to me, I use MY own PC which no one else uses sometimes a family member of friend might use it, but they will not put any such device in my PC ...! so here my only concern is software keylog.

Reinstall. If the keylogger is well made and not spread out too much you will never detect it.
I just want to know is can't I look into all running processes manually to check whether a suspicious process in running in background that might be a keylogger..?
Obviously you won't see something called 'keylogger.exe', that would be too easy.
They usually conceal themselves under normal looking names.

You could just change the BIOS settings to boot from the disc. You don't have to actually take the HDD out to do it.
