How to: Detect Keyloggers

Welcome back, John here bringing you another help article! (nice Sethbling impression, eh?)
There are many types of malware as previously discussed. (Trojans, worms, viruses, etc)
But there is one type that you may not have heard about (if you have, give yourself a pat on the back)
It is called a keylogger. They can and will track every key you press, steal your passwords, and break into your banking account. They are very hard to get rid of, luckily I know how to detect these.

What to do:
Go to Task Manager (CTRL-ALT-DEL)
Open Processes (it's a tab)
Scroll down until you see winlogon.exe
If there is ONE winlogon.exe, then you are safe. If there are TWO winlogon.exe, then yea... buy a new computer or download Malwarebytes on your HOME computer and run a full scan of your computer because YOU, my friend, have a keylogger.
