Yes, quite a few. PestPatrol does also, although if you are seriously
worried about this you also might want to look at Who'sWatchingMe. If
you're dealing with a keylogger that uses email, you can get an idea
if one is running by setting up your firewall to block connections to
port 25 and alert you to them, and/or to block Outlook Express from
accessing the net and alerting you to that was well.
