ok so someone downloaded this remote keylogger on my computer..

ok so i first caught two "Keylogger." files while scanning on Super antispyware Free version.. and after that, i never caught it again. But I am still scared it might be on my computer.
Am I safe? I seriously don't want to reformat my hard drive.
i did everything that was recommended online, like
1. Running SUPERANTISPYWARE Professional Version on Safe Mode
2. running almost all the anti-malwares available, like Spybot Search and Destroy, Malwarebyte, ESET NOD 32, and more..
3. ROOTKIT and registry analyzers, checking the registry (regedit), Window Task analyzers..


but I still don't feel safe. The reviews for the keylogger software say it is "undetectable".. so does that mean actually undetectable no matter what I do (even on Safe Mode?) or does that mean its undetectable only to total computer noobs?

I mean I did everything and still didn't find it. Is Webwatcher really that good? I am getting so effin paranoid. I never caught anything keylogger-related ever since I tried SUPER Anti-Spyware BUT STILL..

Sounds like you know specifically which keylogger this is.

Could you post the name?

The first rule of removing spyware by using a specialized program is to not rely on anti-virus programs. Because spyware is different from viruses, you need a different program to remove it. Check out our section on anti-spyware program reviews to pick one that's right for you.

Run a scan using your spyware cleaner. Do this by pressing the "Scan" button. This means that your anti-spyware program will look for suspicious files on your computer and report back to you, and you will be given a choice of what to do with any suspicious files it finds.

After the scan, turn on immunization options to help protect your computer against the spyware programs your scan has found in the future. Immunization options can be turned on by a button called "Immunize." Next allow your spyware cleaner to remove any spyware it finds.

After you run a scan using your anti-spyware program for the first time, restart your computer and run a scan again. This ensures nothing was missed the first time. Let the program remove any additional spyware files. If suspicious files were found during the second scan, restart your computer and run the spyware remover again. Keep repeating the scan-restart-scan process until your anti-spyware program cannot find any more spyware.

If you repeat this process three times and your spyware remover keeps finding spyware, or if your program can't find any more spyware but you think there's still some left, you may want to try running a scan in your computer's "safe mode." When you start up your computer in "safe mode," only the most essential processes can activate. This will prevent spyware from activating in the background and trying to hide itself while your spyware remover scans for it.

When you have finally removed all spyware your computer, you can start undoing any damage or setting changes the spyware may have caused.
