I have someone that has the log in information for my ms page as well as my husbands. Thanks to GUG and the codes I've been able to use, I have been able to track my ex OR his wife logging into my account and my husbands. They live in another country so the ip address tracks it down to the city were they live and thanks to the video tracker, I realized that when she (I'm almost positive it's her) visited my page and my "friends only" blog she was logged on under my husbands account. I know that it wasn't my husband since he was with me when this happened and like I said before, the ip address comes from the country were they live. What puzzles me is that if she has access to my computer via a keylogger, why she hasn't caught on with all the information I get from this website. You would think if she was aware of the adblock feature using Firefox she could block it. Are there keyloggers out there that only show you passwords and not what a person views while they are online? If she knew what I viewed, she would have deleted herself already from the video tracker that tracked her myspace profile. Is there any way to know for sure if she has installed a remote keylogger on my computer and is there anyway of getting rid of it without having to buy a new computer. I would prefer not to confront them or contact them for it would upset my husband. Any ideas anyone??

Run your AntiVirus... and make sure there's nothing fishy in your 'ignore list' of the antivirus...
There's a start.
I'm unaware of a keylogger that shows everything you're viewing... most that I've played might mention the title of the window I'm on, but other than that, only what's typed is recorded... then again I've not messed with a whole lot of keyloggers.

There are plenty of keylogging programs that merely log keystrokes and don't take screenshots or gather any information about the websites you're visiting other than what can be gleaned from what you input via the keys.
A growing number of keyloggers nowadays are able to easily hide from antivirus programs, and kernal-level loggers are sometimes even able to hide from antirootkits. This is by far the worst variety of malware to have on your computer. My suggestion for now would be to attempt hunting it down best you can and investing in a good (not freeware) two-way firewall so you can check where your computer is "phoning home" to. It's not the case with all software, but with firewalls you really get what you pay for.
However, in the end you may have to wipe out your hard drive and start over :-/

Thank you all for your help! I believe that the virus:
Trojan-Spy.Keylogger.ao IS a keylogger!
A way to check is also to go to Windows task Manager (Ctrl, Alt, Delete)
Look under "Processes" and look at all the file names.
If you google the file names it will give you information on all of them. I found msmsgs.exe on mine. Information on the keylogger says it hides under this process. Aside from the anti virus program I ran, I make sure to delete this process from Windows task Manager. To google all these is tedious, but if you are in a similar situation, it's worth it.
I hope this can help someone else.

Trojan-Spy.Keylogger.ao IS a keylogger!
is def a trojan that will capture all keystrokes from users and then sends them to the attacker via email. counterspy is a site that lists 810 current keylogger and/or virus programs.
