Users can install Keylogger themselves but just in case it aint, I recommended the following free products to be on safe side:\n\nSpyware:\nhttp://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0-1-0.html?qt=spyware&author=&titlename=&desc=&dlcount=&daysback=&swlink=&gfiletype=&os=&li=49&dlsize=&ca=&x=21&y=2\n\n\nAnti-Virus:\nhttp://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10503939.html?tag=lst-0-2\n\n\nFirewall:\nhttp://www.download.com/ZoneAlarm/3000-10435_4-10465069.html?tag=lst-0-1

Probably not, unless you enable it or put a keylogger on your computer.

Keyloggers can literally log every keystroke that you type and then save them on the computer or send them via email to someone else over the internet.  Other software can also capture every email, email attachment, and IM chat that you have and also send those.  In most cases, these keyloggers can hide themselves very well in hidden directories with encrypted files. Check out the products at http://www.spectorsoft.com\n\nThe best software I've found to detect software keyloggers is SpyCop.  http://www.spycop.com

Maybe he has installed a keylogger into your computer? In that case, get yourself sum antispyware programs or firewall, like ZoneAlarm.

First, you can look for addresses (email/IP) using any hex editor. But it can be hidden.\nThe best way is to use packet grabber and to save all keylogger internet activity. Note that it can take a long time: maybe, your keylogger reports only once a week. So you packet capturing filter must be tricky.

You have a keylogger on your computer that is invisible. Download and run(read instructions on how to run it) rootkitrevealer and post your results on the rootkitrevealer forum I will give you the links below:

First of all let's see what kind of spying sofware is available...\n\nType 1: KEYLOGGERS. This kind of soft is collecting whatever you type, name of the application used when typing, time stamp, etc. Worst part is that they collect all passwords as plain text even if you see them on screen as ******* cause they hijack the keyboard. The info is sent then via email, ftp or allows the 'owner' of the keylogger to access the file containing the collected data.\n\nType 2: VISUAL SPYWARE. They take snapshots of your screen and send them via ftp, email, etc.\n\nType 3: Just imagine the combination of type 1 & 2.\n\nType 4: REMOTE ADMINISTRATION programs. You can see them, in a way, as spyware. They allow a remote user to login into your computer and control it like being in the front of the keyboard.\n\nTypes 1, 2, and 3 are able to hide themselves. They don't appear in the tasks list, in the running processes list, they just don't appear anyway.\nType 4 is considered to be a legitimate application so all of them have visual indicators to show you when a remote client connects to your computer.\n\nHow to avoid the bad ones?\nSomeone said "antivirus + firewall". Well... it may work, it may not work! As many spyware progs are using "regular" ports (21, 25, 80, 110) used by your browser or your email client, firewalls are useless.\nSome are untraceble for antiviruses. For ex Norton antivirus is not catching BKP...\n\nFrom personal experience the  best you can do is:\n1. run an anti-spyware program to check if your computer is clean. Almost all of them will do the trick.\n2. as antivirus use Avast (www.avast.com). Is free (home edition) and surprizingly effective. After installing it I was unable to install any of the keyloggers I've found on the net. Also very good against viruses, trojans, etc, etc...\n3. install Netlimiter (www.netlimiter.com). It will show clearly the traffic done by any process. The moment you see something suspect you can kill the traffic for that process, find the application, dig the registry and ... you got it!\n\nI hope this short analysis will be helpfull. Again, it's not all here. Dig the net, read security forums, and so on if you need 100% protection.

Well, if you want to know what he is up to, that part is easy, download and install this Keylogger which remains invisible unless the proper key combination is pressed, http://www.download.com/Home-Keylogger/3000-2092_4-10264521.html?tag=lst-0-1\n\nAs far as restricting sites this program might do the trick, NetVada Safety.Net which includes parental controls, http://www.download.com/NetVeda-Safety-Net/3000-10435_4-10382920.html?tag=lst-0-8\n\nIf your son finds out you installed these programs he might take it the wrong way so be sure they are well hidden.

Apart from an antivirus program, you need antispywares. The choices are choose one from windows defender, avg antispyware (these have realtime scanning) , \nOthers are offline spybot s&d, ad aware se personal. \nAlso you can use a antikeylogger to protect from keyloggers.\nAnd a firewall is a must. EIther enable win xp built in firewall or download and install free firewall like zonealarm.

Hi there, \n\nYou can know it by installing 'keyloggers'\nThey will track down the passwords typed on your computer. You can download keyloggers for free from thefollowing sites - \nhttp://www.waresight.com/\nhttp://www.spectorsoft.com/\nhttp://www.kmint21.com/keylogger/\nhttp://www.keylogger.net/\nhttp://www.actualspy.com/\nhttp://www.keylogger.org/\n\nOK.. so much for the key-loggers. But at the same time, you have to be careful not to become a prey to people. There is a likely chance that people may aim key-logger at you. So get some anti-keyloggers at \nhttp://www.anti-keyloggers.com/\nhttp://www.spy-lantern.com/\n\nI don't think Mozilla Firefox is a good way of tracking passwords because the other users should 'enable' password storing in it. If not, there is nothing you can do. So, try keyloggers. All the best!! Hope this helps. Bye!!\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

It is a program often referred to as a "keylogger".  It is a malicious program that records every button pushed on the keyboard, in a hidden text file on that pc.  It periodically sends itself to a hacker, who would then have passwords and other sensitive information that had been typed into your computer with your keyboard.
