Keylogger Removal
Some keyloggers may fall under the category of "Spyware". Spyware is any software program used to track your computer activity, thus put you and your personal information at risk.
If a keylogger is not an invisible one, then it should be relatively easy to detect it and remove it. If it is an invisible one or running in stealth mode, it can be a difficult procedure.
The safest way to remove stealth mode keyloggers is to use an anti-spyware program or a keylogger removal program, both of which can be downloaded from the Internet.
Another way to remove keyloggers is by going into your registry editor and searching for traces of keyloggers and physically deleting them. Please note that the registry editor is a highly sensitive area of you computer and great damage to your computer can be caused if the wrong files get tampered with or deleted by mistake. If either of the two options above are not something you are comfortable carrying out, please contact your local computer dealer.
