I'm just curious... is there a way to detect if your spouse has d/l a key logger or other spyware?

Maybe install one on your machine yourself. That way you would know everything happening on your machine.

There are some spyware and antivirus programs that can detect keyloggers. Most are free.

you can try looking in the control panel under add/remove programs ...they usually show up there as a program that was not there previously. I am trying to remember where I found the one my husband installed ...I think that's where I found it ..in the add/remove/uninstall programs area of the control panel . no ..I remember ..it was under my computer/local disk c or d whatever it is on your computer ..and then I was openeing each of the files to see what was in there ...and i came across the keylogger/spyware . I deleted all of the files that i could find ...which essentially made the program non functioning ...although not everything was completely erased . it pissed my H off big time ..because he lost all the files he had saved on me .
