I use Windows XP.

I've found four Key loggers but Spyware Doctor won't remove them without a purchase. How can I get rid of them without paying? Or at least some way of finding out where they're stored.

Spybot S&D doesn't find them.

they are:
Smart Keystroke recorder - 27 infections
Actual Spy - 15 infections
Stealth Keylogger - 31 infections
Key Logger King pro - 3 infectionssuperantispyware should find them... spybot should have found actual spy ive dled it and tested it.. is your spybot up to date?? did you run the scans in safe mode?Tried running a full system scan of Superantispy in safe mode but my PC keeps shutting itself off a few seconds in. After restarting I ran a quick scan in normal Windows and it came up with two low risk ad aware files, but no key loggers. I updated definitions before starting.

My SB S&D defs are up to date too.
okay, so I checked again and my SB defs weren't up to date - I thought it was an auto update thing. After rescanning with SB it found all four culprits but again, right near the end the PC shut itself off.
Could you please direct me to a reliable online scanner that's capable of recognizing these and works with Firefox?Does Spyware Doctor tell you where the files are? Did you try to manually remove them in Safe Mode?

Give Panda ActiveScan a try. When it's done scanning, POST the log here along with a HijackThis log.also try CLEANING out your tower with a can of compressed air to hopefully help with the shutting down(might be over heating it happened to a computer i worked on once)

P.S. spybot has never been auto update to my knowing but i could be wrongHave you tried AVG Anti-Spyware ? ?I got lucky with one of the SB scans and managed to get rid of them. I also seemed to have fixed the shut down problem. There was a thick layer of dust covering the fan vent, I had to pick it out with a spoon .... My family is very CHEAP.
