spyware software on my computer

Comment:
I'm hoping someone in this forum may have a suggestion to help me. I own a second computer for personal use in which I believe someone has loaded a spyware software (ie. let's them see every keystroke I type, etc) in order to track everything I do. I believe it sends them an email or gives them a gui to be able to see my emails, passwords, websites visited, etc... Running spybot, adaware, and norton has not located anything, but I'm fairly confident it's on there somewhere.

Can anyone tell me how I may be able to find it and remove it?

Thanks in advance for any help!

What makes you think that a keylogger has been loaded? Did someone have physical access to your machine or send you an executable that you ran without knowing what it was?

If Spybot, Adaware, and Symantec all failed to find anything, then there's probably nothing to find. You could always try Hijack this. Then, post the log results.

Life's more painless for the brainless.
