How to detect Keylogger

[rohnearner]

pull the ethernet jack, reformat. douchebag

Would you like to read the first post again..! I mentioned that I'm trying to avoid formatiing my PC..! I did it just last week..!

AVG catches keyloggers great, dont know what you talking about, try malwarebytes and hijackthis and process explorere to see anything running hidden.

Are you sure AVG is worth giving a shot..! because I used it in past.. and it sucks..!

Use Malwarebytes instead. And run TDSS-Killer which i previously linked.
That combination will clean your computer from most malware.

If you didnt jailbreak it and you only install software from the official store you are pretty safe. Not 100% but close enough. The question is: if you didnt jailbreak it, you would not be using it for Bitcoins since Apple does not like them for some reason (are they afraid?). So I assume you did a jailbreak. In that case, be very carefull what you let on your phone. Without the jailbreak apple does all the checking for you, with the jailbreak you have to check the software yourself. For most people this is impossible.
Oh... and even without jailbreak, apple might install a keylogger, just because, you know, for marketing, just in case... phones, cant trust them.

Some hacked my Cloubet acc/ and withdrew little amount I had there..!  I'm lil afraid what if the hacker gets all the Passwords i use..!
 I scanned my PC for viruses.. and Found nothing , I use Avast[yeah that sucks but most of the Anti-viruses can't catch Keyloggers] I still don't know whether the hacker got the info using Phishing , Keylogger or any other technique .. I searched Running Processes manually in task bar but can't say if its running there or not..!

TLDR; I want to know how to dectect if keylogger is installed on my PC

First step:

1. Back up everything important.
2. Install linux, if you're a beginner - you could start with Ubuntu.

Why you might ask? Because linux in general are safer. Also it's a nice learning experience.

Reinstall. If the keylogger is well made and not spread out too much you will never detect it.

I dont know why, all I know is that they removed all bitcoin wallets from their AppStore.

They still allow stuff that is related but not "handling" bitcoins. So you can watch charts and forums etc, but you cant store coins on your iPhone without a jailbreak.

The only drawback is that injecting the malicious code by patching the BIOS requires root privileges on or physical access to the system.

Not gonna happen with my system.

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..?

Many advanced malware know how to conceal their identity by either using phony names that sound genuine processes - such as 'System Host', 'Browser Extension', 'Google Update Service' etc.  (and maybe a different name every time they run), and some even do not appear on the process list!
That's called Rootkit (which I mentioned a few posts back). When you check for keyloggers, it is also imp to check for Rootkits.

[Equate]

You can also try spybot and check how many detections.

i need free avast key for my PC i want to use good malware in my PC

are you sure you want to use good malware in your PC.?

when i switch on my pc they needs 15 minutes to start i think my PC need good malware

[Kyraishi]

You don't need to detect keylogger, just buy a good antivirus or just never use your keyboard anymore!

[mgburks77]

boot to a live cd and run superantispyware

[oli123123]

You should use Kaspersky Internet Security, it's great!

[validium]

download and run process explorer by sysinternals and check which ip address a process is connecting to.
install private firewall to block or filter various apps.you can also block the suspicious ip addresses

[freedomno1]

Pretty much agree with all the posts above and through the thread
Lot of people know their stuff
I would also recommend using hijackthis if you determine that the Keylogger is being a stubborn process to delete.
Also helps to keep an original list so you can tell what new processes might be affecting your PC if a bug appears
