Hi Emily - We need a little more info than this in order to help you.
First, why do you think you have a key logger installed? What programs have
you run to try and rid yourself of it - Anti-Virus?, AdAware?, SpyBot S&D?
What is your Operating System and Service Pack level? What AV do you have
installed? Are you using a firewall? Are you fully up-to-date with ALL
Critical updates from Windows Update? 

-- 
Please respond in the same thread.
