How to find the invisible keylogger software to prevent the tragedy? Though hardware version of a keylogger is not so easy to find out, keylogger software can be found by yourself. There are many different ways to do that.

A good antispyware or antivirus software may be able to locate keyloggers. If you don't have one on your PC, download one and installing it on your computer. Updating their virus definitions and running them regularly, you have a good chance to find software keyloggers out.

Of course many of these processes are required for running your computer, so you may have to google the unfamiliar ones to determine whether it is a keylogger.
3. Check your computer for software that you are not familiar with.
Go to the "Add or Remove Program" in the "Control Panel", and look through the list of software. You may be so familiar with your computer that you could discover a program that you don't remember installing or looks suspicious.

Note: Keylogger hardware can be hard to detect.
If the keylogger

Keylogger hardware may be located between your keyboard and computer, or electronic chips that are placed inside your keyboard. If you're a skilled computer user, you may be able to discover it between your keyboard and computer but you have to disassemble your keyboard to find the keylogger chip. If not, you can take your computer to an expert.
