A squared 2 will find some keyloggers at least
http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/

Also look for anti spyware programs
(adaware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
microsofts anti spyware
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx
spybot http://www.safer-networking.org/nl/index.html
)

Some virus checkers like mcAffe and Norton wil also allert you about
possible mallware, including keyloggers

I don't know of any freeware, but I would be rather dubious of *any*
offering (freeware, shareware or commercial software) that claims any
kind of genuine, in-the-wild, success as an anti-keylogger. Keylogging
is one of the most complicated attacks to detect in a generic fashion.
Generally, though, if you *do* come across a likely candidate, it'll
act in pretty much the same way as a regular spyware/malware
scanner. If you're lucky, some dedicated soul might have already put
the (hard) work into writing a device driver-based anti-keylogger
that acts as a low-level keyboard hook which "takes notice" of any-
thing else hooking keyboard input (or hooking text-entry Windows
controls such as Edit controls) - though this is highly unlikely in the
freeware arena. It's a sad state of affairs, because keyloggers are
the most worrying form of malware I can imagine.

Good look madam!

But...

1) XP only (might work with NT/W2k in future , but 98,ME is out of the
question)

2) Some (lots of?) people seem to experience crashes with this. It works
okay for me but...
