Identifying a keylogger

Drew0889 · 08-09-2009, 08:20 PM

.. Okay, so lets say that you're having a keylogging issue with just one program. Does anyone know of any software that can, say...

Detect programs interacting with another specific one.

For example, we'll call the program in question Program A.
The keylogger is Program B.

Is there any piece of anti-malware software that would be able to show all other programs interacting with Program A at any given point, in order to hopefully root out Program B?

Hi and welcome to the forum

Please stay with this post first:

Annoying Keylogger Incident

I would have to assume that keyloggers can monitor about anything.

Well, I was posting here mostly to ask about possible software that can be used to prevent it, or root it out on my own.
