| How do I tell if there is a keylogger on my computer? I tired a virus scan and it said there was nothing but I want to make sure. About 2 years ago I was hacked, and I still have no idea how it happened! I came back from maple one day and all of my stuff was gone. I want to make sure it wont happen again. Thanks |

| reformat your computer, save everything important on an external or flashdrive (if you don't have anything important) |

Many of these are keyloggers themselves EDIT: at brawlrulez... you have no idea what your talking about. Music aint gonna get you a keylogger... There files are so small too. The things that do are rouge antiviruses and other things. |

| AVG=free virus scanner so its bound to have problems but its still one of the better free systems. i believe you can Google stuff to get further information but if you had a good virus scanner from the major producers and it has Internet security/information security for keylogger and you did a full system scan chances are your clean as a whistle but you can always try online scanners to make sure. Malwarebytes Malware scanner is apparently a good scanner dunno if you can find it online but thats the virus/keylogger scanner my computer service place uses to fix computers. |

I'm paranoid over the internet so I don't download a lot of stuff.

| Same thing happened to me. I quit in 2007 and came back this year and everything was gone. Logging on with the onscreen keyboard should help if you're afraid of keyloggers. |
