How to detect if keylogger is attached to a file?

[harold121]

Is there any way to detect whether or not a keylogger is attached to file you have downloaded?

have a good up to date virus scanner for one thing. I use returnil when messing about with malware. http://www.returnilvirtualsystem.com/

Something like a PE editor can give nice clues.

Keylogging detection capability has been added to the latest version of WinPatrol (http://www.winpatrol.com/), both their free and paid versions.

It is an option you might look into.
