How can you detect if there is a keystroke sniffer on your computer.
All sniffers have to write to disk at some point. You can detect one by checking to see how much disk space you have (DIR on MSDOS), typing a few lines of random characters, and check your disk space again. If it's gone down a little, then you probably have one.
Is there a file name to look for?
Try checking in your TEMP directory...the few ones that I've seen default to creating an invisible file in that directory.
Where do people get them?
They either buy them or write them.
