    Hey guys I joined here hoping to get some help as I think my computer is infected with a Keylogger. I have followed all of the steps in the "Read this before requesting malware removal help" thread. Thanks  :) My logs are as follows:

    I don't see any evidence of a keylogger or any other malware for that matter. Are you having any problems or just suspicious?

      Ok thank you very much. I was suspicious as my account on an online game was locked as they believed that someone knew my password. I did everything I could to search for a keylogger and I decided to post my log just to be sure and have an expert check too. Thanks again, I can now sleep easy  ;)

      It doesn't mean someone does know your password. You could have logged on at once place and maybe logged on at another computer right afterwards. This may have been detected as simultaneous log in which may arouse suspicion.

      I suggest changing your password at least once every month.

      I agree.

      Since SUPERAntiSpyware didn't turn up anything then I would think you are safe.

      Here is a program to help monitor suspicious activities and a great addition to any PC.

      To prevent unknown applications from being installed on your computer install WinPatrol 2008
      Using Winpatrol to protect your computer from malicious software

      Then some final cleanup steps.

      Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.
      • Click Start Now
      • Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.
      • Click Start
      • Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
      • Update anything listed.
