          I'd like you to scan your machine with ESET OnlineScan
          1. Hold down Control and click on the following link to open ESET OnlineScan in a new window.
            ESET OnlineScan
          2. Click the button.
          3. For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)
            1. Click on to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop.
            2. Double click on the icon on your desktop.
          4. Check
          5. Click the button.
          6. Accept any security warnings from your browser.
          7. Check
          8. Push the Start button.
          9. ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
          10. When the scan completes, push
          11. Push , and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.

            I don't like it at all. There are freebies that afford better protection without the hit on performance of your machine.

                Microsoft Security Essentials, Avast and Panda Cloud are my three preferred freebies with Avira coming in 4th. Avira isn't quite what it used to be but is still effective.

                Go here and view the pdf for 2010's summary report of the big named av's.

                  I will check that out, thanks! I got Macfee because I get a discount on it, but it really slows my system down and ive been pretty disapointed with its virus protection.

                        How do you know you have a key logger installed? By design, if you're not running any AV...etc they are made to be non-detectable. Both the hardware and software versions.
