How to Detect Keyloggers With Norton
If you have a keylogger on your computer, every username, every password, and every credit card number you type can be tracked and stolen by the creator of the keylogger. While you can remove keyloggers manually, unless you have an extensive knowledge of programming and how computers operate, it's simplest to use an antivirus program such as Norton. Norton Antivirus's regular virus scan will detect and remove keyloggers from your computer, keeping your information safe.

Run virus scans on a regular basis.
